China Lands On The Moon 

China is planning to land on the moon in the year 2017.  This will be the second country to land on the moon, because before this, America was the only country to land on the moon.  Now China will be the second country to land on the moon.  This sounds like we should congratulate China for being the second country to land on the moon!

The Chinese are going to put small robotic rovers on the moon and I'm sure that they will eventually put people on the moon too.  That would be the next logical step.

This picture demonstrates what it is going to be like when the Chinese put a man or a woman on the moon and put their flag on the moon too.  It wouldn't surprise me if America helped China put people on the moon because they will need our help.  We are the only ones who have already done it.  

This is what the Chinese flag and the Chinese spacesuit looks like on the moon.  The good thing about China landing on the moon is that we won't have to worry about people saying that it was faked because the Chinese are well known for being honest, so it's really nice to see a second country land on the moon!  Especially such a good ally to the United States.  It wouldn't surprise me if China also builds a moon-base on the moon because they also like competition.

This is what a moon-base might look like along with a combination subway and train on the moon.  This is just a computer generation of what it would look like of course.  I'm sure that they are going to build it.  I personally would certainly go with them to outer space and the moon...even if it was the Chinese I went with.  I would gladly take any family and/or friends with me to outer space and to the moon.   Building on the moon is a good way to handle over population...you just transfer your people on to the moon.  The moon is the perfect place to live!  It's a stepping stone to other planets in our solar system.  All moon like planets are a stepping stone to other planets in the universe.  This is the direction of the future, both for China and America and Russia, because only three countries have been to outer space.  Russia, America and China have been and soon my prediction is that Japan will join the group in outer space.

NASA Gets Unwanted Competition From SpaceX

SpaceX is an American Company that is trying to put more of their stuff into outer space.  SpaceX's new heavy rocket, named Falcon is going to launch later this year.  This puts a lot of pressure on NASA but will probably create some pressure to out compete and out do SpaceX.  

The Falcon has approximately 28 engines and weighs 53 metric tons.

As you can see in this picture, these rocket boosters are extremely big and they are also trying to create boosters in such a way that the rocket can re-land on the launchpad so it can be used for another flight and ultimately save money.

The story behind this picture is that SpaceX already had an accident that was a big explosion.  The rocket was trying to land but it crashed on the barge and exploded.  This proves that SpaceX is behind NASA in experience.

This digital rendering is a demonstration of what SpaceX shows and claims they are doing to put vessels into outer space.  NASA's current claim is that they are building rockets that will travel into deep space to explore Mars and possibly land on even asteroids.  NASA is already a proven concept because it has already built robots that have already landed on Mars.  Also, NASA plans to send people to Mars too.  Even if SpaceX is successful with its claims, it will motivate NASA even more.  More than likely NASA, just like it outdid the Russians when it landed on the moon, it will out do SpaceX.  The private sector has a history of outsourcing which is what SpaceX might be doing.  Therefore, NASA is likely to be the leader in space exploration now and in the future.
