The Chinese space station in lunar transit, captured on 11/15/2022.

Just one little comment: It should be China's Space Station or China Space Station....not Chinese Space Station
The Cosmonaults or Astronaults ....China call the space farers....Taikonaults

What are you talking about?

An update on the Jilin-1 constellation of observation satellites. The plan is to launch 300 satellites by 2025. So far, 75 satellites have joined the constellation, enabling revisits to any spot in the world every 55 minutes or so.

Send three people to the moon before 2030] CCTV host Lu Jian asked Academician Long Lehao, manned landing on the moon around 2030, can this date be realized?

Academician Long Lehao replied, because we are now developing the "new generation manned launch vehicle", like this rocket, there are three Long March 5s tied together, such a parallel connection is called "core-level parallel connection" , it has a foundation, and three people should be sent to the moon before 2030. I think it should be worth looking forward to.

He is saying the new rocket will have 3 long March 5 first stages as its first stage, likely the main body and two boosters.

Does this mean long March 9 is not for moon missions, or is both viable but lm9 won't be ready to meet the goal by 2030?

Edit looks like he may be talking about the project 921 rocket.

I think two will land and one will stay in orbit in the service module.

Crazy to think that so far 161 rockets have been launched this year globally! Seems like we are entering a new era of space exploration!
