Will China Beat The U.S. In The Race To Put A Base on The Moon?

China is trying to put astronauts on the moon – and build a moon base – by the end of the decade. Some U.S. officials are a bit worried because they think this is more of a military mission than a scientific mission. With an American mission still planned for September of 2026, the U.S. might still be ahead of China in the race to get people up there, but it seems China is gaining ground.
