China announced: it would send a man to the Moon by 2030

China has unveiled its lunar mission timeline, aiming to send humans to the Moon within three years. The plan includes an uncrewed landing rehearsal and a series of test flights using the Long March 10A rocket and the Lanjüe lunar module. The Mengcsou spacecraft will gather data and test reliability before a planned docking in lunar orbit in 2029. If successful, a crew of three taikonauts will land on the Moon for a three-day mission. This ambitious four-year plan intensifies the space race with the U.S., which aims to send astronauts by 2028, raising questions about meeting deadlines.
