Washington: NASA chief Bill Nelson said that even if China sets foot on the moon, it will claim it as its territory.
China has always had a policy of occupying or claiming that space, whether it is the South China Sea or many areas. The head of NASA also says that there is a fear that even if they go to the moon in such a situation, China will claim it as their land. If China steps on the moon before America does, China will go there and claim it as its own land. This will create difficulties for astronauts from other countries to get there.
Former astronaut, current head of NASA and Florida Senator, Bill Nelson, gave this warning during an interview. If China gets a proper foothold on the moon before the US does, China will occupy most of the territory. Then they say this is our territory, get out of here. “It is true that we are in a space race with China,” said NASA chief Bill Nelson. China will not hesitate to capture the moon in the name of scientific research. If this happens, China is likely to say clearly, get out of here, we are here, this is our territory.
China successfully launched a new space station in 2022. At the same time, NASA’s Artemis mission to land humans on the moon is also underway, and will try to increase activities on the lunar surface so that NASA can collect as much information as possible.
