China will launch its first lunar probe this year, and expects to be able to land a man on the Moon within 15 years, a senior space official has confirmed.
The Chang'e-1 lunar probe will be launched later this year aboard a Long March 3A rocket.
The probe will provide 3D images of the Moon, survey the lunar landscape, study lunar microwaves and estimate the thickness of the Moon's soil.
Good luck to them. Race, race, race!
