China, all the way to Luna A Chinese space program official has said this agency has developed a plan to begin sending unmanned probes, including an eventual sample return vehicle, to the moon within the next two and a half year. While the plan has yet to receive formal government approval, lunar exploration has been announced as an eventual goal of the Chinese space program. China will become only the third nation to develop manned spaceflight capability with an orbital launch later this year (likely October, possibly November).
News of the Chinese space program is an interesting mix of information and disinformation, with this report sayting that China could have the technology to send an unmanned craft to the Moon within a year, while a report within the past few weeks said that China had the technology to send a man to the Moon now.
