Building a lunar research station isn’t just rocket science – it’s about cosmic collaboration! 🚀 Wu Weiren, chief designer of China’s Chang’e lunar exploration program, recently emphasized that international teamwork is central to constructing the International Lunar Research Station. "We welcome scientists worldwide to join this universal mission," he declared, framing moon exploration as humanity’s shared adventure.
Wu, who has helped steer China’s lunar ambitions – including its historic 2020 sample-return mission – sees collective brainpower as key to unlocking lunar secrets. 🤝 From studying moon minerals to prepping for deeper space travel, the station could become a sci-fi-worthy hub for breakthroughs.
With plans for robotic missions by 2028 and crewed landings post-2030, this project blends Star Trek vibes with real geopolitics. 🌍 As nations race to map lunar resources, Wu’s message cuts through: "Only through cooperation can we turn these gray plains into a playground for human achievement."
