China plans to land astronauts on the moon before 2030 and add a fourth module to its space station, officials with the nation's space agency said.
The country's plans for landing on the moon include a "short stay on the lunar surface and human-robotic joint exploration," Lin Xiqiang, deputy director of the country's human spaceflight agency, said during a news conference at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, according to a report by The Associated Press published Monday (May 29).
