No matter how many times you say Apollo went to the moon, it doesn't change that it didn't happen, and as for Artimush, it wouldn't have got round the moon without the early 1970s soviet rs25 rocket motors that the US bought a bulk lot of for the space shuttle program. The Saturn V Never had the lifting capacity with its pathetic 50atmospheres rocket chamber pressure. And Elons scrapped any plans for crew. So don't be surprised if China is the first country to get a human above low earth orbit. They will need superconducting magnetic shielding to handle the radiation.

@@kojotasunashe8547 I think as a Chinese, I can talk about my understanding of why China follows the space program it promised and realizes it within the deadline. First of all, when proposing a plan, there will be a strict project feasibility discussion plan, and there will be a discussion and certification that lasts for several years. During this discussion phase, its content will be continuously updated. When the final project plan is finalized, it will be written into the next five-year plan. After being written into the five-year plan, in the next five years, the space program will be carried out successively, and the realization cycle will be even longer. Take why China built its own space station as an example. At first, China wanted to cooperate with NASA, but the United States issued a bill prohibiting China from joining the US space cooperation program. Therefore, China had to start from scratch with difficult independent research and development, and the birth process of the Chinese version of the GPS positioning system was actually the same. He was rejected and had to develop independently. From the beginning of the project to the official network and the start of the global Beidou satellite communication service, it has gone through a long research and development cycle. The second reason is that once a certain space program is included in the five-year plan, it will not change with the change of new government. It can be seen that the reused award-winning project of American sapceX company has achieved success and has a great advantage of cost saving. Chinese officials have not yet revealed the relevant research plans.

Made in China😂😂😂😂. But they do better than India. This I will give to China. At lease some countries bought J17. China love to exaggerate but the Indian is just too honest.
I was stunned when I saw that. However, it is probably just as reliable as a catch system as the SpaceX chopsticks. I am confused about how the cables will be able to survive the violence of the deceleration thrust plume.
This is pretty close to what I dreamt up as an alternative when I first saw the SpaceX chopsticks idea. As an engineer this system seems less sensitive to exact positioning than the chopsticks. In addition cables are lighter than chopsticks which allows them to be moved more quickly and/or with less power and the springiness of the cables appears beneficial too. Of course cables can break but it is possible to have multiple as a backup and cables can be made very strong too. I would expect that the chopsticks are preferable if the booster can be landed very precisely but the cables give more catching flexibility if the landing is a bit off. In any case the cable solution looks like a very good idea; maybe some amateurs/universities could do some evaluation with scale models. I don' t think it would be a big deal copying some good idea from the Chinese.
@@clay-tw5gc As far as I see the cables will still be quite far sideways when the exhaust plume passes through the square formed by the cables. The cables move in only when the engines are already below the level of the cables. Furthermore the cables could be under an overhead protection initially. I would be mostly worried that the cables damage the booster skin during the catch.
@@richardbloemenkamp8532 I agree, the cable system initially looks like an easier solution than chopsticks for starship, but that's not to say I think it is the right solution from SpaceX's perspective. They already have the tower and chopsticks to lift the ship and booster, why not use them again to catch? In this same perspective, why go to the effort of building four more slightly smaller towers, expending money that could be used to refine a system you have already built. I imagine the loads would be harder to manage with a cable made structure than with a rigid welded structure. I'm just an armchair rocket nerd so take everything I say with a grain of salt tho lol

China has already landed on the dark side of the moon with its rover vehicle operating on its landscape for awhile now. It’s next lunar mission to land their astronauts on the moon with Russia by 2029 is a possibility where both nations could build lunar stations on the surface for research & strategic reasons. This program is in progress already for the last few years, maybe in the final stages of its development.
@@exploreandunravel5773 It is absolutely great to see what India reached this last week with the Chandrayaan-3 mission.

@Xrabittgaming: That's what the U.S is deathly afraid of! Hard as they might attempt to try the U.S will not be able to the Chinese and will only make matters worse for themselves by attempting
No wonder Star Trek doesn't have anything about this moon. Because manned moon landing has never happened. Let's see will China be able to do it first.
The comparison with Apollo and Artemis is a good point to extend: first you can add USSR's crewed lunar landing plan into comparison, second you can compare the whole process of 4 missions' profile in the form of 4 step-by-step videos playing simultaneously on screen. That would be intuitive and fun.
Chinese 'crewed' moob base still has to wait until the late 2030s at the earliest, ILRS is mostly focusing on a robotic moon base at first. So... if nothing else, US might build the crewed base first.
There is always a reason why they haven’t done something Iike this. If there is something more they can learn from a moon base they should do it but I think the amount of info they gathered from the moon made them realize a moon base would be expensive and accomplish nothing. Maybe space tourism is the main goal here.
@@DontUputThatEvilOnMe Cmon, America spent $1.7 Trillion on multiple failed F-35 jets that could have housed ALL the US homeless 29 times over and could have also been used for a moon base. Use military money, the rest of the world are sick and tired of the US helping countries by bombing them.
Great report, DongFang Hour, well presented as always. Looking forward to your future article on the International Lunar Research Station. Hello from New Zealand.🇳🇿🇨🇳🇷🇺
I hope that something will change the current political situation from suspicion and isolation to close cooperation and mutual respect. We all want to explore and colonize the moon and it will be far easier for everyone if we can finally move beyond the petty politics and the Cold War mentality of the past. Until that time comes, I wish China great success in their quest.
I don't know too much about rocket technology, but I do know that our Chinese government has achieved all the 5-year plan since 1949, including the period my country being deliberately isolated (Why the hell has the US been so bully?) by the US before 1972. I am pretty confident that my country will not fail me on this plan of crewed landing.
Another really interesting episode. A shame global politics make international space collaboration so difficult. Related to this, is there an international standard for docking systems? Could Chinese, Russian and NASA space craft dock with each other in lunar orbit?
Technically there is an international standard, It’s how the Russian and US sides of the ISS are connected. Currently China uses its own docking standard based off of the same standard. While not currently physically or politically possible it could be in the future.
@@PhazzeeYeehawapart from the way the individual ISS modules are connected, Russian and NASA use different docking ports for their crew and cargo space craft.
@@qiufusheng3058 I was thinking that the NASA lunar gateway could be used as a rescue island by China or Russia if anybody had problems in lunar Orbit. The gateway (currently planned to be tiny) could be extended in future by other countries modules.
That's quite an impressive program they've got in the works, but there's a lot that has to go right if they want to make by 2029. Best of luck to them. Thanks for the update Jean!🚀🚀👍👍
Although we China's aerospace development is not too early, but we blew the cattle eventually realized, we are moving forward step by step, this is very interesting, what will happen in the future, let us wait and see
I'm thrilled by these news because if China says they'll do it, THEY'LL DO IT. Also, we all know Artemis is not gonna happen, so yeah, the future of space will be brought by China's hand! ❤️
We all know Artemis is not gonna happen.....LMAO, explain.....Artemis 1 has already been accomplished by sending Orion Spacecraft , Artemis 2 with crew mission is set to launch in 2024 and they have selected 4 astronauts for this
It would be very interesting if china launched a moon mission before the announced schedule. And be fully successful, before the Americans even know what happened
If China plans for a lunar base, it should start doing more space construction and building up a sustained transportation system. China should send the spare space station to the moon orbit. A crewed spacecraft ir transporter should then dock with the orbital moon station. A lander should then be sent to dock with the moon station and a initial uncrewed landing should be done before doing a ctewed landing. The crewed transport and the lander should be reused many times. The moon station ahould also function as a refueling station for the lander. The Chinese space station should be used as the Earth gateway for moving crew to and fro from earth.
Well, I wacthed a video about some plans that working by China's universities on the lunar base design. Actually a lot preparation going o inside China on mutiple stages and tasks. But it's in mandarin, at least it can give you some ideas. ruclips.net/video/mFmLSEp8_MI/видео.htmlsi=m40js7l1vg-5HVzQ base construction ruclips.net/video/d7syzpMjvgw/видео.htmlsi=Uc7Yrunz9o_w4_G3 Rover
What a rich content episode on lunar crewed missions. So much great info, well organized and researched. Things already heating up for non-crew lunar explorations as well. India's Chandrayaan-2 lunar lander entered lunar orbit this last week, and Russia's Luna 25 (Luna-Glob-Lander) is scheduled to launch Aug 10th. China's Chang'e 6 lander in 2024. Very exciting times.
Some major changes have been in the news since August of 2023: China wants at least partial re-usability in its Long March rockets. NASA's timeline for Artemis missions keeps slipping because of problems and cost overruns with SLS and the Orion capsule. Artemis Two might launch in 2025, but more likely in 2026. (not 2024.) Subsequent Artemis missions are also delayed and its not clear in Artemis Three will launch in 2028 or 2029. Also not clear if Artemis Four will launch by the end of the decade.
Space is an inhospitable place for humans and it’s distant and expensive to land us on the moon, hence how few Apollo missions there have been or why there’s not been one for awhile
US said they had landed astronauts numerous times on moon.......as of now according to latest info, moon surface temperature is -180C, how US astronauts survive with previous technology suits?
Although there are many skeptics, China's top space workers say it is true.😢Questioning requires evidence. In China, most people admit that the United States did indeed land on the moon🎉
yall literally watched 15 minutes of Chinese powerpoint and CGI animations and you have the gall to accuse America of having a fake space program. smdh.
Professionally articulated article as per aeronautical space engineer with all technical description details. China will complete all schedule in time before any country done. Admire the reporting thanks for the same .
Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't the Сhinese intention of building a lunar base predate that of the U$? Initial plans of the U$ was to build a lunar space station which changed during the Trump administration to a lunar base(probably to compete with the Сhinese plans as per usual).
The United States space agency NASA unveiled plans for a lunar base near the moon's south pole in April, 2020. In June, 2021, Roscosmos and the China National Space Agency announced intentions to build an International Lunar Research Station. Correct me if I am wrong, no funding for either of these projects have been committed.
@@armandomercado2248 'China Plans to Build a Moon Base Near the Lunar South Pole' April 27, 2019 Thanks for proving me right! As for the funding, I have no idea.
@@catonpillow The US talked about lunar based back in 1958. But if no money is spent and metal isn't being bent, it is just talk. China will make it happen.
@@armandomercado2248 And people were talking about going on the moon since Jules Verne's time. The concrete plans for a lunar base on the south pole came right after the Сhinese announced their plans for such a base. I also believe that Сhina will be the first to build a lunar base. At the moment the Americans are putting their entire effort into getting ahead of Сhina on the crewed landing(the exact same story as the lunar base). So...
@@catonpillow In the modern era, the Artemis program in 2017 called for exploration of the moon with the first crewed landing in 2024. The Lunar Surface Asset was to be a small habitat located near Shackleton crater with a launch date in 2028. But everyone knows China saw the moon first and thought of this in 200 BCE, and have been reacting to China's advances ever since.
They should do an automated landing mission first, and then a crewed flyby mission. That could be done by 2030. After 2030, they can do a crewed landing.
CNSA has completed the auto-landing and sample return process successfully. Now CNSA is embarking on the human landing, orbiting, rovering and returning part. All the very best to CNSA!
The US started their lunar program in 1961 and landed in 1969 which was a monumental achievement. We now have better knowledge and resources to do this, but moon landings are still no easy task. Wish them the best of luck.
The United States 🇺🇸 landed on the moon? The whole world is saying that it is fake news, and Hollywood helped to do it. How hard is it to go to the moon now?
Wonder how they landed on the moon when technology was still primitive by today's standard. 50 years forward, the US can easily land a man on the moon in a heartbeat.
@@wongpohchan9485 Well, spacecraft have to be built and tested, physicists and mathematicians have to build models to accurately plan the operation and those models must be tested to improve the accuracy. Finally, spacecraft are very expensive and difficult to build, requiring custom fabrication. This is why it takes years to do and also why the US can’t just do it “easy,” it will take years of will and planning to pull off even though they went in the past.
@@kittycat2157 US said they conveniently lost the documents how to land on the moon ... hahahahahaha . They do not know where they keep all the stuff enabling them to go to the moon. Maybe they need to ask Microsoft for the DOS operating system. LOL
This plan is a lot simpler and easier to implement than the current Artemis plan. NASA should have employed a similar startegy with one SLS launching a fully fueled lander to the Moon and a second SLS rocket launching a crewed Orion spacecraft to meet up in Lunar orbit. Would have required a higher SLS production cadence be implemented faster, but that's just a production/logistics problem, nothing compared to the extremely complex architectures and tech development required by both Artemis landers.
@@qiyuxuan9437 Each country should make good use of the technology it is good at. China is more mature in space docking technology. The United States has experience in building large rockets because of its previous competition with the Soviet Union.
No. NASA isn’t looking to repeat what’s already been done. It’s trying to innovate and build the advanced technologies that will enable human exploration of the solar system and colonies off world, technology China will eventually steal once the US has perfected it (as always). Starship & New Glenn will revolutionise the way we look at building things in space and solving the boil-off problem with Hydrogen & LOX + Rapid reusability will truly start a new era. Stop being short sighted and think bigger.
The US has suddenly found interest in the Moon, only because of the Chinese progress in space. Similarly, the first time the US became interested in the Moon was because of Russia's first satellite. For the US, it's all about competition. All about the need to show itself better than others.
Same as BBB world. Being reactive and not planned properly is the downfall of the USA plans and prestige. This is not the 70s where people can be tricked by Hollywood clips.
I wish them luck! More footprints on the moon are a good thing. I do wish they used the LM-5 with more launches - e.g. launching the modules without fuel, docking them on orbit and fueling them. A brand new rocket, even one with proven engines, is a recipe for delays. Even more so considering it will be thrown away in favor of a new one already in development. In any case, I suppose all options were considered by much smarter people so they had good reasons for it.
They should go and check for the American flag and replace it with the Chinese one if there, or expose it if not. Wouldn't mind to see some pics of the environmental waste the Americans left behind😅
China appears to be a developing country because of its large population and per capita GDP of more than 10,000 US dollars. But in fact, China's scientific and technological strength is the second strongest in the world.

Did you know? China has never claimed that this is a space race, which the West has unilaterally claimed
@bvusjxlee3941 Lol of course its a space race. It's a race for technological superiority.

So they just conveniently come up with plans for a lunar base, Just as Artemis is announced?
Sure.

China officially announced they will do it before 2030, and yes I think they will do it in 2029 because of the reason you mentioned.
Keep continuing to make those amazing video contents about the Chinese Space race.
They will expose a thousand lies in the past.
@Xrabittgaming: That's what the U.S is deathly afraid of! Hard as they might attempt to try the U.S will not be able to the Chinese and will only make matters worse for themselves by attempting
No wonder Star Trek doesn't have anything about this moon. Because manned moon landing has never happened. Let's see will China be able to do it first.
bro, it's Taikonaut, not astronaut.
The comparison with Apollo and Artemis is a good point to extend: first you can add USSR's crewed lunar landing plan into comparison, second you can compare the whole process of 4 missions' profile in the form of 4 step-by-step videos playing simultaneously on screen. That would be intuitive and fun.
1:48 India has also achieved lander and Rover capabilities, after the successful launch of chandrayan 3 in 2023.
50 years of waiting for a US moon base. Thank God we know that the Chinese will finally build it.
Chinese 'crewed' moob base still has to wait until the late 2030s at the earliest, ILRS is mostly focusing on a robotic moon base at first. So... if nothing else, US might build the crewed base first.
@@DOSFS Americans haven't caught up to Japanese 60s bullet trains. US moon base with Jewish space lasers. Thanks for the humour, made me laugh.
There is always a reason why they haven’t done something Iike this. If there is something more they can learn from a moon base they should do it but I think the amount of info they gathered from the moon made them realize a moon base would be expensive and accomplish nothing. Maybe space tourism is the main goal here.
@@DontUputThatEvilOnMe Cmon, America spent $1.7 Trillion on multiple failed F-35 jets that could have housed ALL the US homeless 29 times over and could have also been used for a moon base. Use military money, the rest of the world are sick and tired of the US helping countries by bombing them.

Wonderful infomative video! Keep it up DongfangHour!
Dongfang hour is getting better and better,... Great work man
I feel relaxed when China Space program says they will send astronauts to the Moon - because they always meet their milestones on the plan.
Great update - always welcome your presentations on the many aspects of the Chinese space programmes. Still my most popular for many reasons 👍👍😀

China's space development is incredibly impressive. Looking forward for more fascinating updates. Thank you Dongfang for sll the great reports.
I hope that something will change the current political situation from suspicion and isolation to close cooperation and mutual respect. We all want to explore and colonize the moon and it will be far easier for everyone if we can finally move beyond the petty politics and the Cold War mentality of the past. Until that time comes, I wish China great success in their quest.

Brilliant.great info.roll on China
I'm going to apply for the position of "Space Chef" when the application process opens. LOL
I don't know too much about rocket technology, but I do know that our Chinese government has achieved all the 5-year plan since 1949, including the period my country being deliberately isolated (Why the hell has the US been so bully?) by the US before 1972. I am pretty confident that my country will not fail me on this plan of crewed landing.
Another really interesting episode. A shame global politics make international space collaboration so difficult. Related to this, is there an international standard for docking systems? Could Chinese, Russian and NASA space craft dock with each other in lunar orbit?
Technically there is an international standard, It’s how the Russian and US sides of the ISS are connected. Currently China uses its own docking standard based off of the same standard. While not currently physically or politically possible it could be in the future.
@@PhazzeeYeehawapart from the way the individual ISS modules are connected, Russian and NASA use different docking ports for their crew and cargo space craft.
After 2018, Chinese docking mechanism is compatible with IDSS (rev D). The Wikipedia page says compatible with APAS, which is an outdated information.
US once rejected China in space station will soon beg China for consideration to allow US to join in space exploration.
@@qiufusheng3058 I was thinking that the NASA lunar gateway could be used as a rescue island by China or Russia if anybody had problems in lunar Orbit. The gateway (currently planned to be tiny) could be extended in future by other countries modules.
Thank you for such an informative video about China's space technologies. Bravo, way to go, China👏👏👏👏👏
That's quite an impressive program they've got in the works, but there's a lot that has to go right if they want to make by 2029. Best of luck to them. Thanks for the update Jean!🚀🚀👍👍
Although we China's aerospace development is not too early, but we blew the cattle eventually realized, we are moving forward step by step, this is very interesting, what will happen in the future, let us wait and see
Thank you very informative
China is fully capable. And committed. All the best.
I believe China will put it's taikonauts on the Moon even before 2029.
Pretty exciting stuff, I'll definitely keep monitoring the progress. BTW Chinese astronauts are called taikonauts.
incredible episode bravo!
🎉🎉🎉another good episode! Thank u, Jean!
I'm thrilled by these news because if China says they'll do it, THEY'LL DO IT. Also, we all know Artemis is not gonna happen, so yeah, the future of space will be brought by China's hand! ❤️
We all know Artemis is not gonna happen.....LMAO, explain.....Artemis 1 has already been accomplished by sending Orion Spacecraft , Artemis 2 with crew mission is set to launch in 2024 and they have selected 4 astronauts for this
Another unbeliever.
A moon landing would be good, but I’d rather see China achieve a just society by 2030.
anyway they will have to do it in 2028 by hook or by crook as the politician and planner's life is not involved.
Let’s hope they head over to the Apollo landing areas and put an end to the “we never landed on the moon guys”.
Maybe China has their own SKubrick China lands man on moon this Xmas YES !
按照中国人的性格，不管你们是否到过月球，我们都不会说，就算到了非说不可的时候，大概率还是会说你们到过月球。
Very informative video. TY from the UK.
It would be very interesting if china launched a moon mission before the announced schedule. And be fully successful, before the Americans even know what happened
10:27 - Yes, the early "rendezvous in lunar orbit" concepts developed while Saturn V was still uncertainty.
If China plans for a lunar base, it should start doing more space construction and building up a sustained transportation system.
China should send the spare space station to the moon orbit. A crewed spacecraft ir transporter should then dock with the orbital moon station. A lander should then be sent to dock with the moon station and a initial uncrewed landing should be done before doing a ctewed landing. The crewed transport and the lander should be reused many times. The moon station ahould also function as a refueling station for the lander.
The Chinese space station should be used as the Earth gateway for moving crew to and fro from earth.
Well, I wacthed a video about some plans that working by China's universities on the lunar base design. Actually a lot preparation going o inside China on mutiple stages and tasks. But it's in mandarin, at least it can give you some ideas.

Thanks for the information
Some major changes have been in the news since August of 2023: China wants at least partial re-usability in its Long March rockets. NASA's timeline for Artemis missions keeps slipping because of problems and cost overruns with SLS and the Orion capsule. Artemis Two might launch in 2025, but more likely in 2026. (not 2024.) Subsequent Artemis missions are also delayed and its not clear in Artemis Three will launch in 2028 or 2029. Also not clear if Artemis Four will launch by the end of the decade.
No one has been on the moon. If it was done in 1969. Why can't they do it now
They can and it's happen on 2025
Space is an inhospitable place for humans and it’s distant and expensive to land us on the moon, hence how few Apollo missions there have been or why there’s not been one for awhile
They are going to do it again with Artemis. Budget was the problem before. But now companies like SpaceX are helping.
So, who is winning the space race? And does space really matter other than good pr stunts.
Great video 👍
US said they had landed astronauts numerous times on moon.......as of now according to latest info, moon surface temperature is -180C, how US astronauts survive with previous technology suits?

We can see if the original moon landings were real or faked

Professionally articulated article as per aeronautical space engineer with all technical description details. China will complete all schedule in time before any country done. Admire the reporting thanks for the same .
Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't the Сhinese intention of building a lunar base predate that of the U$? Initial plans of the U$ was to build a lunar space station which changed during the Trump administration to a lunar base(probably to compete with the Сhinese plans as per usual).
The United States space agency NASA unveiled plans for a lunar base near the moon's south pole in April, 2020.
In June, 2021, Roscosmos and the China National Space Agency announced intentions to build an International Lunar Research Station.
Correct me if I am wrong, no funding for either of these projects have been committed.
@@armandomercado2248 'China Plans to Build a Moon Base Near the Lunar South Pole' April 27, 2019
Thanks for proving me right!
As for the funding, I have no idea.
@@catonpillow The US talked about lunar based back in 1958. But if no money is spent and metal isn't being bent, it is just talk. China will make it happen.
@@armandomercado2248 And people were talking about going on the moon since Jules Verne's time. The concrete plans for a lunar base on the south pole came right after the Сhinese announced their plans for such a base.
I also believe that Сhina will be the first to build a lunar base. At the moment the Americans are putting their entire effort into getting ahead of Сhina on the crewed landing(the exact same story as the lunar base). So...
@@catonpillow In the modern era, the Artemis program in 2017 called for exploration of the moon with the first crewed landing in 2024. The Lunar Surface Asset was to be a small habitat located near Shackleton crater with a launch date in 2028. But everyone knows China saw the moon first and thought of this in 200 BCE, and have been reacting to China's advances ever since.
They should do an automated landing mission first, and then a crewed flyby mission. That could be done by 2030. After 2030, they can do a crewed landing.
They already did in 2020
@@arvin15 Yeah, but I mean with their new vehicle. Something like Apollo 6 or 10.

CNSA has completed the auto-landing and sample return process successfully. Now CNSA is embarking on the human landing, orbiting, rovering and returning part. All the very best to CNSA!
The US started their lunar program in 1961 and landed in 1969 which was a monumental achievement. We now have better knowledge and resources to do this, but moon landings are still no easy task. Wish them the best of luck.
The United States 🇺🇸 landed on the moon? The whole world is saying that it is fake news, and Hollywood helped to do it. How hard is it to go to the moon now?
You believe US did go to the moon with racktag DOS technology?
LOL...
Wonder how they landed on the moon when technology was still primitive by today's standard.
50 years forward, the US can easily land a man on the moon in a heartbeat.
@@wongpohchan9485 Well, spacecraft have to be built and tested, physicists and mathematicians have to build models to accurately plan the operation and those models must be tested to improve the accuracy. Finally, spacecraft are very expensive and difficult to build, requiring custom fabrication. This is why it takes years to do and also why the US can’t just do it “easy,” it will take years of will and planning to pull off even though they went in the past.
@@kittycat2157
US said they conveniently lost the documents how to land on the moon ...
hahahahahaha . They do not know where they keep all the stuff enabling them to go to the moon.
Maybe they need to ask Microsoft for the DOS operating system. LOL
A smart way to do it, always go with the earth's rotation and never against it.
This plan is a lot simpler and easier to implement than the current Artemis plan.
NASA should have employed a similar startegy with one SLS launching a fully fueled lander to the Moon and a second SLS rocket launching a crewed Orion spacecraft to meet up in Lunar orbit.
Would have required a higher SLS production cadence be implemented faster, but that's just a production/logistics problem, nothing compared to the extremely complex architectures and tech development required by both Artemis landers.
Or just use two falcon heavy, SLS is way too expensive😂.
As USA has got too much money.
@@qiyuxuan9437 Each country should make good use of the technology it is good at.
China is more mature in space docking technology.
The United States has experience in building large rockets because of its previous competition with the Soviet Union.
No. NASA isn’t looking to repeat what’s already been done. It’s trying to innovate and build the advanced technologies that will enable human exploration of the solar system and colonies off world, technology China will eventually steal once the US has perfected it (as always). Starship & New Glenn will revolutionise the way we look at building things in space and solving the boil-off problem with Hydrogen & LOX + Rapid reusability will truly start a new era. Stop being short sighted and think bigger.
11:45, who is shooting.
The US has suddenly found interest in the Moon, only because of the Chinese progress in space. Similarly, the first time the US became interested in the Moon was because of Russia's first satellite. For the US, it's all about competition. All about the need to show itself better than others.
Same as BBB world. Being reactive and not planned properly is the downfall of the USA plans and prestige. This is not the 70s where people can be tricked by Hollywood clips.
It’s a pretty cool architecture with LM10 and even cooler with LM9
Great graphical representation of the timelines.
Hope we will meet our "Chang e" Beauty on Moon very soon 😊
I wish them luck! More footprints on the moon are a good thing.
I do wish they used the LM-5 with more launches - e.g. launching the modules without fuel, docking them on orbit and fueling them. A brand new rocket, even one with proven engines, is a recipe for delays. Even more so considering it will be thrown away in favor of a new one already in development. In any case, I suppose all options were considered by much smarter people so they had good reasons for it.
"More footprints on the moon..."? There are footprints on the moon?
When did that happen? I know those are not human footprints.
China is doing awesome!!! Keep trucking!!
BTW: love the artificial islands as well!!
The first landing of humans into the moon will be awesome.
