China's Plan for a Crewed Moon Landing in 2029 | Dongfang Hour

China has revealed plans to land two Chinese astronauts on the lunar surface by 2030, and is currently developing a heavy lift rocket, a crewed spacecraft, and a lunar lander to support this mission.

In this episode, we do a deep dive into the space hardware, the timelines, as well as a comparison with Apollo and Artemis.

The coming decade is going to be packed with lunar activity, both crewed and uncrewed!
