China has successfully began space program

by Nina Gotzmannova

China is known for its overpopulation and nowadays it seems they find a solution. They launched their first lunar probe to explore the moon. Maybe if the conditions of living will be suitable for building a space base, they will try to do it and move people to the space. By this step they can solve the problem of too many people in a small place and improve their space program.But these plans are only sounds of future. China has now other goals to achieve. The first thing is successful landing of Chang'e 1, how is the name of the lunar probe. Chinese scientists named the space ship after a mythological Chinese goddess, who flew to the moon. The mission has three stages, at first the probe will explore the moon surface, and then in 2012 China will send a moon rover to land on moon. The final step is expected to be in 2017, when another moon rover will bring to Earth samples of stones, dust and everything else. But China has some rivals on the way. Just a week ago Japan launched a probe into orbit around moon and according to the latest news from India; they will do the same in April 2008. Anyway, China has a more extensive space program than Japan and they had already sent astronauts into space, so the one-week-jump of Japan is not that important. Also, in 2003 China became the third country with astronauts in space, overtaken only by Russia and United States. Nothing that Japan or any other country can be compared with.
