China Creates a High-Resolution Atlas of the Moon
Really important step towards expanding our research on the moon, is creating highly detailed maps of the entire surface.
China is doing some great work on building out infrastructure and studies of the moon. They’re the only country that’s brought back any moon rocks in decades.
Space Race 3.0 is on, and we’ll see how different approaches to the research and manned missions will move forward.
The US is currently building out an extremely upfront cost heavy project, but with a lot of long term benefits.
China is building a more straightforward moon project, but with higher ongoing costs, as much of the infrastructure is disposable (more like Apollo).
