Given that the USA and former USSR successfully did this 40 years ago with much more primative technology than you can buy off the shelf today, any thoughts on whether China has has the resources and willpower to go to the moon by the end of the decade?

If they think the moon is important, yes. They are building their own version of the Hubble space telescope. They are also getting in on the Galileo positioning system project. I think they have decided that space is important enough to make a big effort for. -- "It's easier to find people online who openly support the KKK than people who openly support the RIAA" -- comment on Wikipedia (My real email address would be if you added 275 to it and reversed the last two letters). |

Hope it works out. We need some fresh folks in space. Keeps things interesting. So far so good... http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_828894.html Hope re-entry is just as smooth. Space, for now, is the one place humanity can put its petty differences aside. The Chinese should be proud of their accomplishment and we should be proud for them even if our own program is on hold right now... Rob |

Chinese manned space program apparently is going to include various orbital docking and assembly test projects, and they're planning for a Mir-class space station by the end of the decade. Still very ambitious, if true. According to yesterday's news reports, they plan an unmanned lunar probe within 3 years. Could easily put a man there by the end of the decade. Cheers David |

What I've read, they are going to do that - with unmanned probes, similar to ones Soviets launched in the '60s. Similar to the penetrator type that is developed in Japan also to study the moon, asteroids, and moons of other planets. -- G Hassenpflug * IJN & JMSDF equipment/history fan |
