China's Ambitious Lunar Mission: Sending Taikonauts to the Moon

China plans to send two rockets to the moon by 2030, with one carrying the spacecraft that will land on the surface and the other transporting the astronauts. This twin-rocket plan will overcome China's technological hurdle of developing a heavy-duty rocket capable of sending both astronauts and a lander probe. The mission aims to collect samples and establish lunar habitats, supporting future crewed missions to other planets. China is developing a super-heavy Long March 10 carrier rocket, a new-generation crewed spacecraft, a lunar lander, and a crewed lunar rover to meet its lunar objectives.
