China's space industry is making great strides forward, and it will soon realize the dream of the Chinese for thousands of years to land on the moon. At the latest press conference on the Shenzhou 16 manned mission, Lin Xiqiang, commander-in-chief of China's manned space program, revealed that the lunar landing phase of the mainland manned lunar exploration project has been fully launched, and it is planned to achieve the first landing of Chinese on the moon by 2030. This exciting news undoubtedly once again demonstrates China's firm determination to innovate independently and climb bravely.

It is reported that in addition to realizing the first time that Chinese set foot on the lunar surface, this lunar landing mission will also carry out a number of lunar scientific investigations and technical tests, make breakthroughs in mastering key technologies such as manned earth-moon round-trip, short-term stay on the lunar surface, and man-machine joint exploration, and complete multiple exploration tasks such as "landing, patrolling, mining, research, and returning". It can be said that this is an important step for China's astronauts to make great strides toward establishing an independent manned lunar exploration capability. The picture comes from the Internet

It is worth mentioning that some foreign media have recently speculated that in view of the rapid development of China's aerospace industry, the moon landing plan is expected to be realized 3 to 5 years ahead of schedule. This seemingly "bold" speculation is not groundless. China's space industry is indeed at an important stage of comprehensive take-off. As early as 2019, Chang'e-4 was the first human probe to land on the far side of the moon. In 2020, the Perseverance rover pushed China's self-developed rocket launch system to Mars, opening the road to China's manned deep space exploration. In 2022, the Tianzhou-5 cargo spacecraft successfully completed the key technical research of long-term manned residence...... A series of breakthrough achievements have been achieved one after another, accumulating rare experience for lunar exploration.

What is even more commendable is that in this "race to the moon", China has been speeding all the way with the pace of independent innovation, and has almost achieved a magnificent turn from scratch. It can be said that the departure of the poor and blank back then is the best footnote to the perseverance and self-reliance of the Chinese astronauts. It is precisely with this tireless and indomitable spirit of struggle that Chinese astronauts have been able to create the names of spacecraft with Chinese cultural spirit, such as "Mengzhou", "Chang'e" and "Tianwen", and to draw a high-definition geological map on the surface of the moon, so as to clear the obstacles and prepare for the subsequent lunar landing mission.

At the same time, we cannot favor one over the other and turn a blind eye to the achievements of the American "Apollo program". The fact that the United States landed on the moon is obvious to all, and it has been included in the lunar geological map of China's aerospace industry. There is no doubt that the United States pioneered human space exploration and pointed out the direction for those who came after it, and its dedication and contribution should be duly respected.

Human beings are always stronger from generation to generation. China's aerospace industry will continue to create a more magnificent space map and continue that "long dream". When the motherland's giant lunar exploration ship is ready, we will be full of expectations and admire the Chinese nation's tenacious spirit of unremitting self-improvement in the vast space! When the Shenzhou spacecraft sails toward a grand dream, and when the Chinese astronauts take the first proud step and tweet, this will be the most memorable moment in the history of mankind!
