NASA Chief Says China Could Claim the Moon , if It Beats the US to Its Surface.

NASA Administrator Bill Nelson gave an interview with Politico that was published on Jan.

1.

He said that China's military aggression in the South China Sea could allude to the future of the moon.

Specifically, if China makes it back to the moon's surface before the U.S., it may attempt to claim it as its own territory.

.

It is a fact: we're in a space race.

And it is true that we better watch out that they don't get to a place on the moon under the guise of scientific research.

, Bill Nelson, NASA Administrator, via Politico.

And it is not beyond the realm of possibility that they say, 'Keep out, we're here, this is our territory.'

If you doubt that, look at what they did with the Spratly Islands, Bill Nelson, NASA Administrator, via Politico.

China's new space station, Tiangong, was recently completed.

Beijing intends to conduct three moon missions over the next decade.

The country also claims it discovered a new potential energy source on the moon.

NASA plans to land astronauts on the moon by 2025 with its Artemis 3 mission that it is working on with SpaceX.

I ask the question every day: 'How is SpaceX's progress?'

And all of our managers are telling me they are meeting all of their milestones, Bill Nelson, NASA Administrator, via Politico

Scientists Call for New Lunar Time Zone Amid Growing Number of Missions to the Moon

Scientists Call for New Lunar Time Zone, Amid Growing Number , of Missions to the Moon . Fox News reports that the European Space Agency (ESA) plans to give the moon its own time zone. . According to Pietro Giordano, a navigation system engineer for the ESA, scientists want to find a "common lunar reference time" to keep track of time when on the moon. A joint international effort is now being launched towards achieving this, Pietro Giordano, navigation system engineer for the ESA, via Fox News. The news comes as private companies and nations have plans to travel to the moon. . Fox News reports the idea of creating a new lunar time zone was first introduced during a meeting in the Netherlands in 2022. Currently, astronauts use the time of the nation operating the mission while in space or around the moon. As the number of lunar missions grows, scientists are searching for a more efficient way of accurately recording and communicating time. Fox News reports that NASA faced a similar decision when construction of the International Space Station began over twenty years ago. Rather than determining a unique time zone for the ISS, scientists use Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) based on atomic clocks. Fox News reports that UTC takes into account the difference between NASA, the Canadian Space Agency and other space programs in Japan, Europe and Russia.
