FRESH from its second manned space mission, China’s space program wants to be able to put a man on the moon and build a space station in 15 years, an official said Sunday.
“I think in about 10 to 15 years, we will have the ability to build our own space station and to carry out a manned moon landing,” said Hu Shixiang, deputy commander of China’s manned space flight program.
But the goal is subject to getting enough funds from the government, Hu said, explaining that the space program must fit in the larger scheme of the country’s overall development.
Hu was in Hong Kong with the two astronauts who conducted China’s second successful manned space mission in October.
Hu said China was developing its space program at its own pace, and not in competition with the United States.
Hu stressed China’s intention to use space exploration for peaceful ends, saying the government “is willing to work hard with people around the world for the peaceful use of space.”
He said Chinese space officials wanted to study the possibility of making rockets with the capacity to carry spacecraft weighing 27.5 tons — three times the capacity of their existing rockets — but the government hadn’t approved the funding.
Hu dismissed suggestions the space program was too costly for a country that, despite rapid economic growth, is still struggling to eradicate rural poverty.

That 's a good piece of news. We need a more balanced world. The rise of European Union, Sub-continent India, China, South Africa and Brazil should be a welcome move for the betterment of the world.
China with its communist root has grown alot in the past two decades in all fields including space technology. The first space mission they've just concluded must have encouraged them alot.
What I like about China is its infrastructure. Since they are all newly built ones - it comes with good qualities.
i don't see that ever happening, unless china somehow saves a few trillion dollars then it iwll be lost cause, but the fact it should be a joint effort from every nation to put someone back on the moon. ti would take billions of dollars and space craft able to travel about 1/2 million miles and able withstand space trash, ice particles and what ever other hazards you can think of and be able to land a space craft since the last apollo mission there.
Hmm, putting a space station up there would be quite difficult, that kinda stuff costs a lot. Though putting a space station on the moon would benifit them a lot. Say they complete there task, they won't have to launch off from earth, they'd have a docking station on the moon allowing them to go farther through the solar system.
Very nice topic, but the FIR isn't for copy/pasting things directly off another site, it's for you to give your word on event that happened. Just a little warning for the next time.
That would be really cool to have someone else get on the moon. Have we even sent anyone since the first moon landing?
The Americans went up to Apollo 17, if I remmeber right. Apollo 13 had some issues and could not land on the moon. Each rocket has 3 crew. Apollo 11 was the first lunar landing, so that adds up to 6 flights. Times that by 3 crew and you get 18 people who have walked the moon.
The Chinese attempt is an interesting one, and one we all should keep track on.
I say that it will take them longer. They are barely able to keep themsleves alive, let alone put a manned station on the moon, or space, or where ever!
Of course, it would be great if they could. But we need to think about the bigger picture here and start thinking about Mars, don't you think? I mean stop puttering around here in the inner planets, go for the big prize. Go for Mars. Now, I don't think we will make a successful mission to mars and back. I think some one will get hurt or killed, but if you are going to go for it, then go BIG! But no, seriously, I think a space or colony on the moon would be great. I just think that it is wasting to much time here closer to home.

I totally agree wild20. The moon has already been explored and please, move on...what is there for China to see? Does China want to go to the moon for the sake of reaching it? I think it'd be a waste of their money. Get some assistance from anyone they can get some help from, dont waste millions of dollars on something for self pride...do something that's breakthrough...
The Chinese should really improve on the general living of the people before trying to put men in space. Many in the rural areas are still earning a meager amount of money and are struggling with livelihood. The space mission in China has somewhat been a propaganda thing. They bought technology from the ailing nation, Russia, and put their brand on it. While it serves the purpose of showcasing the nation rising power, I think it just also shows the social inequality around it the country. It is just like the Soviet in the 70s. Even they are struggling to go on, the Soviet still spend a lot of money on unimportant areas like sports, because they think that the medals they won from the Olympic Game could win them respect from other countries. But I think people will be more proud of having, say, 100% Internet broadband, then to have a man on a remote planet.
I think the moon is being used for a test bed for technology, just to make sure there are no problems with the rockets, because such rockets are expensive, and will become an issue is one of them happens to blow up.
If we establish a Space station capable of lauching rockets, it will be a lot more cheaper to send rockets, since you save money on expensive rockets needed to launch past gravity.

Whilst it does cost money I think space exploration also lifts the human condition to think about what is OUT THERE and not just on our own problems. The benefits in working together and science and technology are great.
Even terraforming Mars would be possible in a large time frame. I imagine that if this was achieved the science to make it happen would be beneficial for our own environment too.
Space exploration is as much a Philosophical endeavour as much a technological one.
I don't agree to explore the moon pre-maturely~! 'Cos it may couse disasters, or some other accidents will arise unpredicately. Then we may have to live on a moonless earth. It's aweful too much! I think China will take moon exloration into caraful consideration~~!! It's reported that China will send moon's satallites this year~~! May be they can bring us new featuresof our lovely moon!
Have any of you heard in 2018 USA is going to try to colonies ( Cant Spell Sorry ) on the moon. Who knows what the future has. Yes it does sound like we are going to do it for bad technology. But also test of like plants growing in space. Better things of building and more. Who knows what the future lies ahead of us..

why dont they send there men on tghe moon now we have the technology now and arnt china ment to be 2 years ahed in technology that the rest of the world?
anyway i would like to state that going to space is the biggest waste of money /resources ever. "There are people with their asses falling out who need that money." The world is getting hotter and hotter, our solution? Burn up some fossils fuels baby! wooo. Think of all the better ways that money could be spent. If we canceled the space program we would have enough money for a system of international sweepers that could take the carbon dioxide out of the air, saving our planet. No, i really dont thing that we need to go to such drastic steps as completly stoping the program, but please, dont go to the damn moon!
China should but one of the countys least concerned to go to the moon. Countrys like china and north korea spend tons on military and other useless things, when their people are starving.
Scientists are getting Ready . The probe is named after a goddess, Chang'e, the name of a
godness on the moon in Chinese legend. It will be documenting 3-D images of the moon's surface.
It is reported the launch would take place from Oct. 22 to Oct. 25. and after the lunar probe, the
Chinese government is planning to send out rovers to collect soil and other samples on the moon.

Have you guys heard about the war that maybe happening between china and the untied stats in

tripleing their army every year and have come out with new missle technology to bypass the americans
missle diffense system. If the two countrys went to war it could spark world war 3 and things would

But no, seriously, I think a space or colony on the moon would be great. I just think that it is wasting to much time here closer to home.
