A leading Chinese space scientist said last year that the country could land a rover on Mars by 2020, build a manned space station by 2022 and test a heavy carrier rocket by 2030, as Beijing expands its space program in a race with India to explore the red planet. But this plans is now on the rush, they need to double time. They need to help on discovering more about Mars and plan to land their rover as early as next year, according to a group of scientist.

Researchers have confirmed that fluid water flowing on the surface of present-day Mars, a finding that will add to the prediction that life, on the off chance that it ever emerged there. Maybe the reason why they want to fast track the project.

A study on China’s first Mars mission is done and the objective is now to send an orbiter and rover to Mars, according to Lei Fanpei, chairman of the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, told state-run Xinhua news agency.

“At the point when the Wenchang satellite dispatch focus is authoritatively opened, it will check a further stride in China’s endeavors to grow its entrance to space,” with the capacity to throw heavier payloads into space, Cheng told Space.com. “These are required to incorporate a Chinese space station, lunar example recovery mission and a Mars explorer.”

A Chinese analyst at the Beijing Institute for space exploration studies said “There may be a possibility that China’s race on exploration of space and other planets like Mars, sooner will overcome NASA in its discovery of Mars fluid water and immediately put-up a Human Chinese colony which will strengthen territorial sovereignty before NASA and US launch its 1st human colonization expedition.”

  1. If the chinese is the first to explore that planet. They will immediately say that historically it is part of their nine dash line extending to outer space.

  2. You Chinese! I don’t care if you claim Mars, and you can unconditionally have the whole of the planet. Just be courteous enough and abandon your unlawful claims in the West Philippine sea.

  3. pati ba naman mars? maglalagay na sila ng great wall of china dun at ipopolute na ng mga insik ahahaha., pero sige nga baka yung rover nila makasagasa lang ng bato tangal gulong? made in divisoria ahahahaha

  4. My question is why don’t the Chinese find their own planet to explore? Why would they always go where the Americans go? Not contented on their moon project? Where was that arrogant statement saying they are far more advanced than the U.S. but cannot explore another planet on their own?
