China will be joining a very exclusive club this year with the landing of their rover on the moon, searching for rock samples. The unmanned Chang'e-3 moon landing mission will be launched sometime later this year.
Once there, however, the Chinese government has said it plans to build the first manned lunar outpost, an objective NASA has already abandoned. ®
