Japan Teams Up with US to Beat China to Land Man on Moon in New Space Race

In the latest development in the new space race, Japan may beat China to put boots on the Moon as US president Joe Biden recently promised that a Japanese astronaut would be the first non-American to land on the lunar surface. This announcement comes amid increasing competition in the field of space exploration, with both countries vying to establish a presence on the Moon.

Under the plan outlined by Mr Biden and Japanese prime minister Fumio Kishida, Japan would collaborate closely with the US to put one of its astronauts on the Moon as part of Nasa’s Artemis missions, scheduled for 2028 and 2032. This move puts Japan in direct competition with China, which has also announced plans to put astronauts on the Moon by 2030 and establish a joint Moon base with Russia by 2035.

The US and Japan’s joint mission will see the two countries working together to land on the Moon, with Japan providing expertise in operating a pressurized rover while the US will offer flight and astronaut training. This partnership aims to manage the risks of these challenging lunar surface missions and ensure the success of the mission.

Despite China’s recent advancements in its space program, including the successful construction of a space station and planned missions to the lunar far side, the US and Japan remain confident in their ability to compete. Nasa’s chief, Bill Nelson, has highlighted China’s secrecy and potential military motives in its space program, emphasizing the need for vigilance and continued progress in space exploration.

With Japan’s ambitious timeline to land on the Moon ahead of China, analysts predict that Beijing may ramp up its own efforts to establish a presence on the lunar surface. As the competition heats up, the world watches with anticipation to see who will be the first to make their mark on the Moon.
