The lunar exploration program, including landing Rovers and research existing plans of the Chinese moon base, also will be held without the direct participation of the people.
According to official data, the Chinese future lunar base will be fully automated, allowing for exploration of the moon without risking someone’s life. And if the lunar mission involving human subjects is still planned, it is clearly not in the near future.
