NASA says China wants to control the Moon in shocking claim
The race between NASA and China is intensifying because the prize is the Moon. NASA and China have found themselves at loggerheads in different missions. Recently China's plans of sending a spacecraft to an asteroid to deflect it as a planetary defense system became known. The China National Space Administration (CNSA) is chasing after the NASA DART mission, which aims to do the same. China also became the first nation to land on the far side of the Moon in 2019, something NASA is also aiming to do. But now, the race is to build the first lunar base and if NASA administrator Bill Nelson is to be believed, if China wins this, it might just take over the Earth's only natural satellite.
