Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping are going to build hand in hand a mega station to explore the Moon and search for other habitable planets, in addition to trying to track extraterrestrial life. The plan is for the basic structure of the station to be completed before 2028 and to have lunar landers, rovers, power system, communication infrastructure and a human life support system.

China, alone, has already presented a project to hunt habitable exoplanets beyond the solar system with a space telescope. "Hopefully, approximately 50 Earth-like planets will be discovered," read a project story published by state television CGTN.
