In The Race for Space

And I’m not talkin’ closet space, here…

China’s space agency released a picture of the Moon today, taken from their Chang’e space probe.

China’s program has advanced at a very impressive pace, and some would say that they might be on track to put an astronaut on the Moon in the next few years. However, when asked about plans to put a man on the Moon by 2020, a spokesman for the Chinese said, “I don’t know of such a plan Please don’t give us any more pressure. But I’m confident one day we’ll put an astronaut on the moon.”

Gotta love that sense of humor …
