The space agency of the POT has set off the alarm about a potential conflict on the Moon against China and confirms that both nations are in a frank space race to reach said satellite.
There was a time when NASA was the top space exploration entity on the planet. But it seems that those days are long gone and now the Space Agency faces a latent danger with the presence of China and his ambition to reach the Moon.
One of the greatest advances of humanity in this field had been the arrival of man to our closest satellite in the month of July 1969more than half a century ago, by NASA itself.
But the reality is that since then there have not been great advances in terms of manned explorations, since this community focused more on other types of missions and technologies that will serve as a bridge for future expeditions.
It was in this context that just in 2019 China he decided to enter the field with his own space agency making huge strides in a very short time. So much and to such a degree that it would already have become the biggest “competitor” for the United States.
China is in a space race against NASA and the goal is to conquer the Moon
the british journal of Guardian has published a series of explosive statements issued by himself Bill Nelson, NASA’s current administrator, who in an exclusive interview with Political He ended by warning about the risks of the current scenario with China.
Where there would be a latent danger that the Asian nation would reach the Moon and once there begin to declare sections of the star as part of the territory of that country. Under such a scenario NASA would be in a competition against China:
“It is a fact: we are in a space race. And it is true that we had better be careful that they do not get to a place on the Moon under the guise of scientific research.
And it’s not beyond the realm of possibility for them to say, ‘Stay away, we’re here, this is our turf.’”
This kind of scenario has even been addressed by some recent works of fiction, such as the series spaceforce from Netflix or the tape ad astrastarring Brad Pitt.
Due to this situation, NASA’s Artemis project is of special relevance. If everything goes well and according to what was projected in the year 2025 they will carry out their third mission, this time manned, to reach the Moon again.
