China Outlines Moon Project Goals

Kulic writes "SpaceDaily.com is reporting that China has announced 4 scientific goals for their Moon project. There are three general goals - orbiting the Moon, docking spacecraft with one another in lunar orbit, and returning moon rock samples to Earth. Each step is outlined, with a detailed description of what they hope to accomplish during the orbiting stage. It looks like China is serious about their space program, and is taking an incremental approach."

    Quite the contrary, we should praise them when there is opportunity to work together on goals that are in the best interest of the whole planet. Holding back and condemning them constantly over human rights serves no purpose other than to isolate China, which only makes things worse, not better.

    That's what the Moon is - a very large space station in orbit 240,000 miles above the Earth.

    That's no moon, its a space station!
