Moon may light man's future
Editor's notes: Ouyang Ziyuan, academician at 皇冠体育app Academy of Sciences and chief scientist of 皇冠体育app's moon exploration project, talked with 皇冠体育app Daily's Ma Chao about Chang'e 1, the first spacecraft sent by 皇冠体育app to the lunar orbit as well as the future of 皇冠体育app's exploration of the moon.
CD: Between October 2007 and March of this year, the Chang'e 1 spacecraft circled the moon for nearly 18 months. As chief scientist, what do you think has been achieved with Chang'e 1? And what has the spacecraft meant to the future of 皇冠体育app's moon exploration project?
Ouyang: Though 皇冠体育app's moon exploration project began much later than other countries, it is at the cutting-edge in several aspects and is unique in many ways without excessive expenditures of money.
