The director of the American space agency NASA, bill nelsonhe warned in an interview with the German tabloid newspaper picture that China is planning build a moon base in collaboration with Russia in what would be a first step to “get” the satellite.
“We should be very concerned that China is going to land on the moon to say: now it’s ours and you stay outside,” Nelson said in the interview, which was published Saturday.
Nelson even believes there is a new space race to reach the moon, “this time with China”. United States plan a trip to the moon 2025 and for the first time a woman will travel. Beijing move on and hope to have one operational moon base in 2035.
In particular, there would be a race to control the moon’s south pole due to the presence of water deposits that could be used to make gas for missiles.
When asked about the goals of the Chinese space presence, Nelson replies, “Well, what do you think is going on in the Chinese space station? learn to destroy satellites of others”.
For example, he pointed out that China has spent years researching technology to “capture” satellites with robotic arms or networks or crash, ostensibly to clear their own space debris, but could also be used to attack other countries.
The head of NASA stressed that “China’s space program is a” military space program and has once again denounced the theft of technology that fueled its nuclear program. “China is good, but China is also good because it steals ideas and technology from others,” he said.
