China on Moon 2017

[GrampianStars (Rob)]

China Moon Shot

Looks like there might be a space race with the US after all
with China planning a moon landing 1 year before the Yanks

---The project also includes setting up a moon-based astronomical telescope---

Now that I would like to see.

[slice of heaven]

And so the propaganda machine rolls on
Strange how China seems to predict their moon landing is going to always be 1 year ahead of the Americans
The Americans put back the date of their predicted moon landing and now so have the Chinese.

Nothing like a bit of healthy competition. Maybe the Chinese will claim is for themselves and just say that the Yanks have left it in vacant possession for over 20 years. Then they start charging everyone for making landings there. Now that would be interesting. I say good luck to them, the western world only seems interested in going to war. At least the Eastern world is keeping to themselves and following ambitious projects.
