China's Space Program: The New Space Race Nobody's Talking About

Описание: The US blocked China from the International Space Station (ISS) program. So China did what China does: built its way out. Tiangong is their space station. They built it in three years.

Then, to put the lunar cherries on the regolith, they went to the Moon in 2020. And again in 2024, only this time loaded up with helium-3. Helium is the moon's rare earth. It's used in fusion, quantum computing and nuclear detection.

But for this short Thinking on Paper Tech taster, the fight is over rules, resources, and who decides what happens on the Moon.Glen Martin - he worked on the International Space Station and nearly bought one of Elon Musk's first rockets - explains how China’s program moves from high-speed rail and grid power at home to the Moon: far-side lunar samples (via a relay network and nuclear-powered rover), and a 2029 crewed landing plan to celebrate the founding of the People's Republic.


Keep Thinking On Paper.
