China is planning to launch a next-generation crewed spacecraft around 2027 that will be capable of carrying astronauts to the moon and even beyond.
"In the future, a new generation of spacecraft will be used on crewed lunar missions, to build our space station and for deep-space exploration," Yang Liwei, deputy chief designer of China's human spaceflight program, said during a talk at a university on Tuesday (July 18), Reuters reported, citing the state-run Guangzhou Daily.
