China D USA They hope to land in the same place when their space missions reach the satellite: at the south pole of the Earth. Moon.

In the midst of scientific exploration, both countries agree that the region’s limited resources could be beneficial to their aspirations, so there could be some tension in developing their lunar missions.

Why is the south pole of the moon so attractive?

So much China which USA have more than 10 possible landing sites for their manned missions on Moon. Almost all of them are based on the south pole of the satellite.

This is because the South Pole is the richest place on Earth. Moon as for the water, which is concentrated in blocks of ice below the surface.

Both POT as Chinese scientists have pointed to three specific common sites: Shackleton, Haworth and Nobile craters.

While Artemis 3 is expected to carry the first woman in history in 2025, China will send the Chang’e 7 mission in 2024.

The Importance of Water in Lunar Conquest

The fact that the moon has grains of water, whether frozen or liquid, opens the door for the agency to consider it a resource to use in the midst of a star colonization program.

Mankind will need it not only for drinking, but also for refueling ships. On the other hand, oxygen could replenish air supplies and be used in simple chemical reactions on the lunar surface to extract other useful resources from regolith (soil composed of small grains).

There are programs now that are studying how to convert lunar soil into potable water and breathable oxygen in the face of human return to Earth. Moon in 2025.

Both countries are aiming to build lunar bases at the Earth’s south pole. Moon sometime in the 2030s, with no sign of a possible collaboration between the two.
