Subject: [lunar-update] China sets its sights on the Moon
Good evening.
Andrew in the UK sent me this link about China's interest in the Moon.
---- China going to the moon by 2020 reported by the BBC on the 03rd dec http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/3288043.stm China sets its sights on the Moon By Dr David Whitehouse BBC News Online science editor China has outlined plans to land a man on the Moon by 2020, the country's chief space official said in comments broadcast on state television. "By 2020, we will achieve visiting the Moon," remarked Luan Enjie, director of the Chinese National Aerospace Bureau. Translators said that Luan used a verb that specifically describes a human mission to the Earth satellite. He said it would follow the launch of a probe to orbit the Moon by 2007 and an unmanned lunar landing by 2010. snip ---- With that thought in mind and the new found GOOGLE News Service, asked for a daily list of News Items with 'China Moon Mission' as the key words and I got my first report. (I have also started one that has 'India Moon Mission' for key words - LRK -) I will copy it below. The very first link if you open it has a quiz asking if you think the US should shoot for the Moon again. You might like to try it and see what the results are. - LRK - The larger question might include should there be a quest for planets further out and the Moon just be a stepping stone or even a parallel event. You might like to read what Bob Zubrin had to say when he gave a deposition in congress. (If you listen to his talk you can hear one excited person that reminds me of a caged tiger trying to get out of Earth's cage and spring to Mars. - LRK -) ------------ GO TO THE MARS SOCIETY WEB PAGE FOR LINKS THAT WORK FOR YOU. - LRK - http://www.marssociety.org/ October 31, 2003- UPDATED!! On the invitation of Senator John McCain (R-AZ), Mars Society president Robert Zubrin presented testimony to the full Senate Commerce Committee on the subject of the future of the US space program. Audio and links to video files are available, as is a .PDF file of Bob's testimony. Radio Free Mars will also be playing Dr. Zubrin's comments on a regular schedule. A summary of the meeting is also available. ------------ There are some links about going to Mars on my Mars page that I added from the Scientific American Magazine. Now if we doubled the size of this lunar-update list, I could numb more readers with more links than you have time to open. :-) Larry http://www.larryrussellkellogg.net/moon.html http://www.larryrussellkellogg.net/mars.html http://www.larryrussellkellogg.net/colonies.html ============================================================== Google News Alert - China Moon Mission US considers new moon mission USA Today .. about a space race between the United States and China ...
