Who built the lunar base first in the Sino-American lunar competition? How long does it take for humans to immigrate to the moon?

The exploration of the moon is the focus of the space race between the United States and the Soviet Union. Whoever wins this game can prove who is the real leader of the world. The birth of the Apollo program in the United States made the United States the winner of the hegemony between the United States and the Soviet Union. However, with the disintegration of the Soviet Union and the end of the US-Soviet hegemony, the lunar exploration competition was put on hold. Time came in 2004, and China officially launched the Chang 'e lunar exploration project. According to the three stages of circling the moon, descending and returning, China successfully completed unmanned lunar exploration. The United States, unwilling to be surpassed by China, seems to want to repeat the glory brought by the US-Soviet hegemony and launch a new round of lunar exploration competition with China. Will China compete with the United States for lunar exploration? Man has landed on the moon. What is the goal of exploring the moon again?

During the hegemony between the United States and the Soviet Union, the United States promoted the birth of the Apollo program in order to prove that its system was superior to the Soviet Union. At that time, the United States invested $3 billion a year in this project, accounting for 4.5% of the federal budget. What did the Apollo program bring to America? Armstrong's phrase "This is a small step for individuals, but a big step for mankind" has brought great international prestige to the United States, making it the winner of the space race and consolidating its political status. The new technology in the Apollo program has completely changed the course of human society.

In 2004, China officially launched the lunar exploration project, namely the Chang 'e Project. The first step is unmanned lunar exploration, which is divided into three stages: circling the moon, setting the mountain and returning.

Orbital operation refers to launching satellites to fly around the moon. On June 24th, 2007, Chang 'e-1 was successfully launched in xichang satellite launch center, and entered the lunar orbit steadily. Through the camera on the satellite, Chang 'e-1 collected three-dimensional images of the surface of the moon. Following Chang 'e-1, China launched Chang 'e-2 as the second-stage experimental satellite, and tested some key technologies.

The second stage of landing refers to landing on the moon. 20 13 12 14, Chang 'e III successfully landed on the moon, and the landing site was named Guanghan Palace. Chang 'e III consists of a lander and a lunar rover named Yutu. The Yutu and the lander carried their own cameras and took pictures of each other, making China the third country in the world to master the lunar landing detection technology. The moon landing program is still not over. 2019,654381October 3, Chang' e-4 successfully landed on the back of the moon with the help of the "Queqiao" relay star, becoming the first probe in the world to successfully land on the back of the moon.

After winding and falling, I came back. Hui shoulders the heavy responsibility of history. It needs Chang 'e V to land on the moon, collect soil from the moon and bring it back to Earth. Chang 'e V is divided into four parts: a riser, a lander, a returner and an orbiter. It was successfully launched at Wenchang Space Launch Site on June 24th, 2020 +065438+20201October 24th. After entering the lunar orbit, the Chang 'e-5 assembly was separated, and the riser and lander made a soft landing in Yangluke Mountain, the frontal storm of the moon, collecting two meters underground and surface soil. After that, the elevator took off with the soil and handed the samples to the orbiter and returner in the lunar orbit. On February 27th, 65438, the Chang 'e-5 returner landed safely in Siziwangqi, Inner Mongolia, and successfully brought back the land of the moon that touched the hearts of countless people in China. This is the most complicated unmanned mission to explore the moon in the history of human spaceflight, and it is also the first step to win the Chang 'e project in China.

The moon in the sky has entrusted countless human imaginations since ancient times, but human beings are not satisfied with just looking at it from a distance and want to be closer to it. 1966, the Soviet lunar 9 probe successfully landed on the moon, welcoming its first visitor in 4.5 billion years. Three years later, Armstrong walked out of Apollo and became the first man to land on the moon. It is undeniable that this is the most brilliant moment in the history of human space. But this is only a starting point. It is our higher goal to establish a lunar base for human beings to survive on the moon. In this regard, both China and the United States have launched their own plans, and a new round of lunar competition seems to have begun.

China's second plan is to send a man to the moon and return to the earth in 2030, and send a man from China to the moon, realizing China's dream of landing on the moon for thousands of years. The ultimate goal is to establish a lunar base and realize the long-term residence and scientific research of the moon. China's space industry has always been carried out step by step according to its own plan. Only if you finish ahead of time will you not be delayed. It will not compete with other countries, especially the United States.

However, due to economic reasons, the funds provided by the United States to NASA are not in place, which leads to the delay of the US lunar exploration project. However, in order to aim at China, the United States did not want to lag behind China in lunar exploration, and started the Artemis project. First of all, a space station around the moon will be built as a bridge between the earth and the moon, and their permanent lunar base will be established on the moon through this bridge. The United States seems to want to repeat the glory of the US-Soviet hegemony on the moon and launch a new round of lunar exploration competition with China, but China ignores it.

Man has landed on the moon. What is the purpose of establishing a lunar base when China and the United States explore the moon again?

Lunar base refers to the living and working area established by human beings on the moon. The main purposes of establishing a base on the moon are: to better carry out scientific activities such as astronomical observation; Establish a space power station on the moon for the use of the earth; Develop various mineral resources of the moon; Provide a foothold for human beings to explore further goals; Providing building materials and even propellants for spacecraft flying to more distant planets; In the further future, man will move to the moon. It is already expensive to send a spaceship to the moon, and it is even more expensive to build a lunar base. So the lunar base is still in the general discussion stage, which may be more useful than we think now.

As Russia recently announced the resumption of its lunar exploration program, more and more countries joined the "Moon Club", breaking the monopoly of a few countries in the field of lunar exploration. In the near future, we will be fortunate to see that the prelude to the construction of lunar base and the development of lunar resources has been slowly opened. We believe that China will be the first country to set up a base on the moon.
