China’s Chang’e 6 Moon Mission Is a Game Changer

On May 3, China launched the Chang’e 6 lunar sample return mission. This mission aims to scoop up 2 kilograms of lunar rocks and soil from the lunar far side and bring it back to Earth.

China is not planning a mere short-term, flags-and-footprints presence on the Moon. Their ambition is more like Nasa's Artemis than it is Apollo. China plans to launch two separate missions to the south pole of the Moon around 2026 and 2028 – including testing using lunar soil to 3D print bricks – as precursors to a lunar base.
