My first home produced video for the 'China Space Watch' Channel. An animated panoramic view from China's 'Chang'e 4' Lunar Lander. The Yutu-2 Rover can be spotted roving the surface of the 'Von Kármán Crater' within the South Pole Aitken Basin, on the Moon's Far Side. #MoonLander #SpaceExploration

Shenzhou-20 handed over the symbolic key of the China Space Station to Shenzhou-21, one day before their scheduled return.

Yes, i am sure the pressurized bigger Rover will come, in a second phase of Manned Lunar Exploration. this one serves the early missions. In the same way the Apollo one did.

Always been a fan of Buzz Aldrin's plan for a system of spacecraft called "Aldrin Cyclers" that continuously travel between Earth and Mars orbits. If they can nail the dockings, it's the fastest, cheapest way to permanently ferry between Earth and Mars. www.skyatnightmagazine.com/space-missio...
Buzz Aldrin's vision for the human exploration of Mars
The second man on the Moon, Buzz Aldrin, has grand ideas of how to make sure human exploration of Mars is more long lived than Apollo.

In the upcoming Shenzhou-22 mission China plans to have one Astronaut remain in orbit for a year. Switching things up from the usual 6 month stay to 12 months! An incredible feat to look forward to!

Meet China’s youngest astronaut to participate in a space mission to date! Wu Fei was born in 1993 in Baotou City. Prior to his astronaut career, he worked as an engineer at the China Academy of Space Technology, part of the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (#CASC). #Shenzhou21

The Rent a Crowd cheering at Spacex when it explodes type success! The new NASA Moon Rocket had its faults, but it worked first time! Orbited the Moon and came back. They took time to ensure it would work, Musk just delves in to a bottomless pit of Tax Payers money 'Moving fast and breaking things'

Yes, the Engines reminded me of N1 right away. Seems a ridiculous set up, has an air of being cobbled together upscaling the one successful engine they have, rather than developing one for the actual task. Not enough Government Subsidies obviously!

China on Monday sent a new remote sensing satellite, Yaogan-46, into the preset orbit via a modified Long March-7 carrier rocket. The satellite will be primarily used in disaster prevention and relief, land resource surveys, hydrology, meteorology, and other related fields.

I also saw another country doing amazing things, with purpose, the right way, and wanted to help spread the word about it. Because their achievements are being deliberately undermined, ignored, or completely played down.
