China Steps Ahead in Space Race
China appears to be pulling away from the pack in Asia’s space race after announcing plans to launch its second lunar probe, Chang’e-2, on October 1–China’s National Day.
If the mission succeeds, it will put China another step ahead of India in the race to become the second nation, after the United States, to land an astronaut on the moon.
China has pledged to do that by 2025 and India by 2020–setting up a 21st Century Asian version of the Cold War space race between the U.S. and Soviet Union.
