This isn't just a future promise — the actual spacecraft are being built and tested right now. China's crew capsule, Mengzhou ("Dream Vessel"), has already gone through escape and abort tests. The lunar lander, Lanyue ("Embracing the Moon"), has completed landing and liftoff trials. Even the astronaut Moon suits and lunar rover are in active development. The one piece still missing? The Long March-10 rocket — the only one powerful enough to send a crew all the way to the Moon and back. It's currently going through low-altitude test flights, and everything else is waiting on it. If it all comes together, China could land its first taikonauts on the Moon before 2030 — becoming only the second country in history to put humans on the lunar surface. Do you think they'll make the 2030 deadline? 🌕🚀
