RYAN O’HARE FOR MAILONLINE reports China has set its sights firmly on Mars and is aiming to launch a mission to the red planet by 2020, a top official has revealed.
Long-regarded as a secretive branch of the country’s vast military, the China National Space Administration (CNSA) has been considered something of a lone wolf in the increasingly cooperative space race.

China has set its sights firmly on Mars and is aiming to launch a mission to the red planet by 2020, a top official has revealed.
Long-regarded as a secretive branch of the country’s vast military, the China National Space Administration (CNSA) has been considered something of a lone wolf in the increasingly cooperative space race.
But the chief designer of lunar and Mars missions for the CNSA has opened up about the agency’s plans for planetary exploration and future collaboration in a rare interview.
In an interview with the BBC, Wu Weiren said the agency’s short-term goal is to orbit and land on the moon as well as bring back lunar samples.
However, the agency’s long-term goal is to explore and settle on the lunar surface, with manned missions staying longer on the surface and even establishing a research base.
The secretive agency has changed tack in recent years, releasing more data and images to the world, and publicising its successes.
Earlier this year a full set of images from the agency’s lunar lander and rover – Chang’e 3 and Yutu or ‘Jade Rabbit’ – were made publicly available, providing some of the most detailed images of the lunar surface ever to have been released. READ MORE
ARE YOU COMPLETELY PREPARED?
IT’S THE MOST IMPORTANT PREP YOU CAN DO!
The Bible tells us that every human has sinned and fallen short of the glory of God which is is a heart-penetrating truth. He has provided a way to cleanse us of our sins since we can never be “good enough” to cleanse ourselves. That avenue to God’s grace, mercy and forgiveness (the cleansing of our sins) is through His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ of Nazareth Who is equally God.
Not one of us are guaranteed a “tomorrow”. Has your time run out? Will you continue to ignore the promptings of God the Holy Spirit or have you awakened to the essential need for God, risking eternal damnation?
God the Holy Father, God the Holy Son and God the Holy Spirit are One God, the true, living, uncreated God Who is ever-present, all knowing, all powerful and all loving. He desires that every single person be forgiven, saved and to live eternally with Him. He is our only real protection and His love for you is unchanging. Accept Jesus Christ as your Savior, the true Messiah, today.
You can’t take your salvation for a test drive. You’re all-in or not.
Admit to Him that you are a sinner in need of forgiveness, that you are truly sorry for your sins. Acknowledge that He died for your sins, rose from the dead and lives forevermore. Invite Him into your life and to help you to turn from sin. Rejoice! You just became a Christian! Now trust in Him and get to know Him through the Bible which tells us everything we need to know and through prayer/talking to Him. He eagerly desires relationship with you.
