I think so. What do you think?
Yes, I’m talking about a manned flight.scottdave said:I guess you talking about people? It is possible. Hard to predict for sure.
Reminds me of this:Borek said:The only country that can _return_ to the Moon is USA.
Lewis Carroll said:“Mad Hatter: Would you like a little more tea?
Alice: Well, I haven't had any yet, so I can't very well take more.
March Hare: Ah, you mean you can't very well take less.
Mad Hatter: Yes. You can always take more than nothing.”
How is it that you were the only person to notice this? I've been dropping the ball...Borek said:The only country that can _return_ to the Moon is USA.
That's only because there weren't any Moon creatures to overcome, exterminate or enslave!hutchphd said:I disagree.
"We came in peace for all mankind"covers any return.
Unlikely. They are working on a different focus: manned space stations, and to be honest, I think that's a more promising direction on the long run than landing on a hostile, dusty, useless planetoid.donglepuss said:Will China be the first country to return to the moon?
It is currently uncertain whether China will be the first country to return to the moon. While China has made significant progress in its space program and has plans to send a crewed mission to the moon in the future, other countries such as the United States and Russia also have plans for lunar exploration.
China has successfully landed two robotic missions on the moon, Chang'e 3 in 2013 and Chang'e 4 in 2019. These missions have collected valuable data and samples from the lunar surface. China also has plans for a crewed mission to the moon in the 2030s.
Returning to the moon could bring many potential benefits for China, including advancements in technology, scientific research, and resource utilization. It could also enhance China's global standing and national pride.
China's moon exploration efforts are relatively new compared to other countries such as the United States and Russia, which have a longer history of lunar exploration. However, China has made significant progress in a short amount of time and has shown a strong commitment to its space program.
There are several potential challenges that China may face in returning to the moon, such as technical difficulties, funding limitations, and competition from other countries. Additionally, there are ethical considerations surrounding the use of resources on the moon and the potential for conflicts with other nations.
