China To Put Humans On The Moon By 2030
Weeks after Russia’s former head of the Roscomsmos space agency cast doubt on the US moon landing in 1969, China announced plans to put a person on the moon by 2030.
In a Monday announcement, Lin Xiqiang, the deputy director of China’s Manned Space Agency, said that the CCP’s moon landing project – part of the country’s broader Lunar Exploration Project (Chang’e Project, named after the Chinese moon goddess) – had only “recently” been kick started. The project seeks to eventually enable short-term stays on the lunar surface, as along with the collection of samples and other research, The NY Times reports.
Chinese scientists have previously nodded at a 2030 goal in a less formal capacity; for example, the chief designer of China’s lunar exploration program said last month that a 2030 landing would be “no problem.”
The Monday announcement came at a news conference to mark the liftoff of three new astronauts on Tuesday to China’s new space station, which was completed late last year.
A manned lunar landing would be a major milestone for China’s, and the world’s, space exploration: No human has been on the moon since the United States’ Apollo missions in the 1960s and ’70s. And it could mark a significant achievement for China in its burgeoning competition with the United States in space. China’s top leader, Xi Jinping, has said that the country should become a “great space power.”
The announcement follows one by NASA, which announced a plan to put a team on the moon by 2025 as part of the (repeatedly delayed) Artemis program.
Both Beijing and Washington want to build research stations on the moon, and to land people on Mars.
The Times frames the announcement as a point of contention between the US and China, echoing the space race between the United States and the Soviet Union during the Cold War.

China has accelerated its space program in recent years, and is currently the only country (known) to have landed anything on the moon in the 21st century. The CCP also landed a lunar probe on the moon’s far side for the first time in history in 2019.
If the moon is next for humans, it might be a good time to bone up on your Heinlein.
Careful, China. You never know what’s up there!
Ah, honarable moonranding scam, come to China.

US’ Artemis mission is supposed to go “back” to the moon in 2025. It might be better to see whether we can still build, say, a refrigerator in this country first.
Ronco is on it, they had such a great success with The Pocket Fisherman. Just be careful extracting from pocket when using those lures with the treble hooks.
Loved the ronco Pocket Fisherman commercials!
The Pocket Rocketman needs no inventing.

Doesn’t check many of the required boxes.
Originally it was 2024. I have been following it very closely since the announcement.
They will not go. I don’t personally believe it is possible, but that won’t be their excuse. It will simply be pushed back in perpetuity while the cash machine whirs.
Stay tuned…

Ooops….
We get it. you are a believer.
I knew you’d chime in, Moonbat Joe.
Good luck trying to land on plasma, according to a 1953 government school textbook.
If the moon is a spherical-shaped rock that has a dark side, at daytime why can I clearly see the blue sky where the dark side of the moon is supposed to be? Why isn’t the dark side blocking my view of the blue sky & clouds? A sphere is a sphere is a sphere, right? I’m being serious here, and serious questions concerning the moon tend to invite gaslighting, bc gaslighting is easier than thinking and reasoning and giving a logical answer.
Really?
Here’s a logical answer.

Thank you for the respectful reply, I’ll visit your link.
Quote from article:
“Just because we can’t see the far side of the moon from Earth doesn’t mean we don’t know what it looks like. We have several photos sent back from lunar missions.”
Same narrative: we landed on the moon. No proofs in the article, only speculation.
“why can I clearly see the blue sky where the dark side of the moon is supposed to be?”
“I’m being serious here, and serious questions concerning the moon tend to invite ‘gaslighting’
Milk thru nose brilliant!
The reason you can see blue sky “through” the dark side of the moom is lensing of the earth’s atmosphere. It is an optical delusion.
[What, Me Gaslight?]
3 moon landing believers so far…
I’m challenging the official narrative, which doesn’t match reality. If the moon is a rocky ball, then we shouldn’t be able to see through it.
May I suggest we send congress, fbi, doj, dod, cia, tsa, hls, big pharma exec’s and international bankers along with the great reset crew attending all these summits to tidy up the surface for us first. It may be their last chance to work for a real living and make a difference at the same time.
ha ha ha… the moon is a flat hologram just like earf and we’re all simulations in a fake and gay matrix. …reeee
Hey Rocky. Watch me pull a rabbit outta my hat…
I believe the plan will be for a state actor(China) to call out the USofA moonlanding bullshit. Chinese will say “we tried but going to the moon is not possible at this stage”. Could the USofA show us how it is done.
I have to say, that is an intriguing idea.
It is so not happening.
