gazette.com October 15, 2024, 06:00 AM UTC

Summary: China has announced plans to enhance its space exploration achievements into scientific advancements. The Chinese Academy of Sciences aims to become a global leader in space science by 2050, focusing on areas like black holes and the search for extraterrestrial life.

The plan includes significant goals, such as landing a person on the moon before 2030 and establishing a lunar research station. This initiative follows China's recent successes, including sending astronauts to its space station and landing a rover on Mars.

China's efforts are part of a broader competition in space exploration, particularly with the United States, which is also planning lunar missions. The U.S. recently launched a spacecraft to study Jupiter's moons for potential signs of life.
