China's Space Race

Feb 5, 2010
The Chinese space agency could land its first astronauts on the moon within a decade in a move that would mark the beginning of a new age of lunar exploration. That's what the experts have been saying following the Obama administration's decision to scrap Nasa's plans to return to the moon.

It's a move that is likely to leave China well placed to become the second nation to land humans on the moon. The US president's budget proposal, unveiled on Monday, lacked the funds to sustain Nasa's $81bn Constellation program. That's the program that includes the spaceships and rockets designed to put humans back on the moon by 2020.
