This is also the general trend of the development of human aerospace industry.
It is reported that the China National Space Administration has demonstrated the follow-up lunar exploration and planned the Chang'e 7 and Chang'e 8 missions. The goal of these two missions is to build a basic lunar research station.
China has also launched an initiative to the international community, hoping to cooperate with countries around the world to build an international lunar research station.
Li Qing emphasized that with the continuous support of policies, in a long-term peaceful domestic and international environment, in a long-term good atmosphere of international cooperation, and with the unremitting efforts of all space workers, this day is expected to come soon.
