CHINA LAUNCHES CHANG'E 5 MOON MISSION

 Hey Space Placers!

China successfully lunched its next Moon mission, Chang'e 5.

\ 

This is a VERY AMBITIOUS mission that if successful, will return the first lunar samples in several decades from an area of the Moon that has never had samples returned.

China has a very capable space program and intends to send Taikonauts to the Moon in the future. 

In sending crews to the Moon NASA leads in prior experience due to Apollo and potential capability due to Artemis.

It remains to be seen what the Biden Administration's plans for space will entail.
