- The China National Space Administration has issued its requirements for upcoming lunar missions, and called on engineers and universities to produce the necessary technologies and equipment.
Included is the specifications for a 100-kg robot which can shovel moon dirt, employ a solar-powered device to bake the dirt into bricks, then stack the bricks.
The equipment will be used on the Change'-8 mission, launching to the lunar south pole in 2028.

The Chinese have plans, and they stick with their plans.
Unlike the Americans, the Chinese seldom talk.
Yes, this is what gives me hope. I've been waiting my entire adult life while NASA builds a rocket up to 80% then cancels, then restart...every time the project gets more expensive until it becomes unfeasible and canceled. US science has become a grift jobs scheme never intended to build or launch anything.
@@magnaviator they are making progress on artemis though? so i Dont see your point holding up there.
The Americans have plans too. Unfortunately, their politics change every 4 years. Good projects cost money and they will soon be shelved by the next administration.
China will compromise when USA initiate military action😊
national level long term engineering requires integrity in government. Unfortunately for the equivalent US scientists and engineers, the US political process filters out integrity and filters in ability to deceive.
In future most of those exploring for China wont be human but robots. That is the most logical way to explore spece more efficiently . Humans cannot do better than robots .
However, we definitely need manned mission to speak human spirit, to encourage our children, which is equally, if not more important than the missions themselves.
Probably 5g/6g remote tools like what huawei build for mining operations
Cool! Go China!👍🙂
Meanwhile, the NASA Starliner postponed the test flight b'cos "some noise from the door". Of cos, it's Boeing so no one is willing to take the risk.
China is working on the next frontier ✌
Great video on China's moon mission.
I believe it is a common feature of space agencies to farm out work this way. I have a school friend in Hong Kong who won a small piece of it with NASA. Many academic establishment would welcome such challenges. They get the fame, applicable research that actually benefit mankind, some financial funding and the space agency get the work done on the cheap. Chinese space agency will get a lot of support from the world universities.
You are right on，thank you
Although it may sounds a little bit crazy, this proposition aims at fostering the creativity in engineering solutions for an ancient dream, the space colony, starting with the moon since it's closest to us. It should start with surveying the different mineral s that are available within the dedicated landing zone. Then, it is possible to melt metals or at least hardened certain clayish soils to make brics. Artificial intelligence and all sciences should benefit directly from this project, instead of building up an arsenal to threaten the world. China should actually invite partners like the Russians or North Korea or Iran, people they can trust won't undermine the project. Mineral explorations to use for the colony is an essential step toward concretizing the inhabitation of the moon. Personally I think it should lead to building a nuclear reactor, because the energy that it can provide is permanent and long lasting. Once done, the nuclear reactor can be used to build science and research development centers and factories...
Exactly and it's a Thorium Reactor, not uranium, and ultimately hydrogen fusion helium 3 which is abundant on the moon
There is something called the Sun. Why build another one that needs maintenance with insignificant power in comparison?
@@sportsonwheelss Because the moon receive the sun cyclically of it's night and days. Although the sun is always present, I need battery storage for times when the sun is out. Building around atomic energy is not foolish and would have spared us some griefs going green. Just like any problems, it needs reflection, time and resources to undergo perfection. Fusion reactors are micro suns in themselves and we should not give up research and development in that sector as the future of space travel depends on it, the further we step out from the sun's orbit.
@@agusedyanto3324 Nice to know that Thorium Reactors are still being studied in spite of all the geopolitics in places to stop China from joining the EU gang.
China and their "bricks" even in the moon
Yes! It's BRICS all the way to the moon!
I infrastructure maniacs?? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Just like constructing the Great Wall they use and perfect whatever materials is near and around the area just like using the lunar soil to fabricate bricks !
So essentially China needs to build Wall-E. ; )
And when China eventually comes up with it, politicians in America would be like "intellectual theft!"
"The Chinese live in a moon house. So we are first."
Thanks Kevin
wow!
👏👏👏🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳👍👍👍
Love those pandas!
They will build the great wall of the moon ! 😂
Yep...and no entry to yanks... unlike the one on your southern border.😮😮
China is building everywhere and now even the moon 😂
you do good work, carry on.
Thanks. As I have expressed before, as much as I value the business and financial news you provide, your sharing local scenes is also most pleasant and inspiring for my day's activities.
Check this out...Meanwhile US has announced NASA is planning to build a railway on the moon that uses magnet for levitation. Perhaps they should try completing the California line first! 😂😂😂😂
Is it only from the companies operating in China or worldwide?
I have always wondered how any future moon base would protect itself from frequent meteorite impacts?
Chinese loves the moon. They have moon gates for their homes since thousands of years ago. 😂😂😂😂
we learn how did we lost 7
intelligent humans at once
Makes sense. How else would we test the Moving Mountain Project?
The Chinese lunar program is nothing short of Amazing.
Nations should unite. Space is our common destiny.
China is developing technology that will also be used in construction industry on earth. Robotic tasks such as building brick houses
Trying to make stuff grow! 👍 Positive note... 2yrs down the road when US gets head outta.... the construction worker won't have to worry about hammering his fingers! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Study how to make the brick first, that is what they did first and eventually made the great wall of china , brick by brick
Wow, tall order.
Robots can handle heat or cold much better than a biological entity. Besides, human can remotely control and observe the results from the robot.
NASA can always outsource its ambitious to China Space Agency! 😂😂😂
Love your content and criticisms about your mis pronounciations of Chinese names maybe valid but that applies to virtually all other youtube bloggers as well. We can all live with that .
That makes sense - they eat moon cakes so this will help usher the grand plan.
This could be the first man-made construction on moon visible from earth😀
Moon dirt or the lunar soil, had been a nemesis of the Apollo astronauts when they landed on the moon. The dirt clung to their shoes, their clothes, their instruments and simply became a pain in the neck for astronauts and Nasa. Potential vendors for the lunar construction robot will have their work cut out for them
❤❤Kevin, looks like using robots to do the extraterrestrial work will be the norm. Humans venture to this realm is mainly and perhaps only for political, recreational and God willing,for peaceful settlements.🌹🌹🌹
China is planning a city on Moon😊
The descendants of Primus the Transformers 😅
Maybe, by the 2040s the Moon base will turn into a colony where people could actually visit for a few days. Maybe, some people will even be able to permanently live there.
Maybe the robot 🤖 finds Bitcoin dust 😮
who needs dust when we have hot air already?
LOL
US will use a big 3D printer to print a marshmallow igloo.
I hope someday these so called leaders can come together and accomplish such complex tasks with clear vision for a better world, rather than the view of a zero sum geo-political game. At least let us all try not to start a unwanted unnecessary war.
Pandas!
Be good
The requests shall be fulfilled with 'Chinese Speeds' and with glee.
Are the two cute animals San Francisco bound? They have 2 black colour hi-tech antennae on their heads, which means data transmission back to China. The Senate needs urgent action.
OMG! Spy pandas now?! 😂😂😂😂
Looks like they are using 3D printing to build using melted soil.
We are going to traverse the stars and galaxy guyssss, see you in 1000 years
We'll meet once more, fellow traveller...
Well I never
#BeingSaneInInsanePlaces
China will build a new panda base on the moon
Homestead right?
China just needs to recycle US Tech from 50 years ago. We put humans on the moon six times with minimal problems compared to the technological challenges. Just tweak that tech so humans can stay longer.
USA has NEVER EVER Land on the Moon.
Otherwise, USA will claim & has already PLUNDERED the Moon as its own territory.😮
Then, what is the point? Putting human on moon is just a show with no long term benefits. This kind of thing should be left for US to do, e. g. putting human on Mars. China wants to build something which can stay on the surface of the moon and can be used as a base for further space exploration.
@@DragonYang01US Thaumaturgy. It has been a very effective narrative.
The US can no longer do anything. China has to functioning bases on the moon. They are expanding H-3 mining there.
@@greywolf2622 So, if China replicates what US did 50 years ago, it would not become a China Thaumaturgy. Let's build a shed on moon.
I'm a skeptic about this base but I wish them luck
This is not as ambitious as musk's mars colony but this is probably a million times more likely to happen than the colony on Mars. Either way, I wish both of them luck.
still a doubter than a believer!
or maybe a fence sitter
maybe China needs to break more records to convince the West China is now really calling all of the shots XD
i get it... We're all in disbelief at Chinas speed of advancement! were collectively witnessing the changing of the guard!
and its happening over night!
the reason im fully behind China is because weve got eyes we can see whos moving in the right direction and actually hitting 5yr targets! where when it comes to the west weve got anecdotal evidence of numerous promises and flipflops... China has given us tangible proof of moving in the right direction.... the west is all talk!
i also wish them luck
also the base from the concepts is genius!, use the moons natural material, proven material to build a habitable environment! we're back to scavenging for materials in the jungle and using the natural surroundings to build a shelter.... its logical, and we have the blueprints of ancient civilisations and dwellings... its just the moon is level 2 of this game of sims lol
Chinese dont plan to go there just to build a base for vanity purposes
They are going to mine the far side of the moon
👇
Because the near side is partly shielded from the solar wind by the Earth, the far side maria are expected to have the highest concentration of helium-3 on the surface of the Moon. This isotope is relatively rare on the Earth, but has good potential for use as a fuel in fusion reactors.

@@DW-op7ly sounds Ike they are planning ahead, again. Just like the rare earth metal and ev batteries materials that they currently dominate. They have been planning for nearly 3 decades. They will continue to dominate in the foreseeable future.
Sounds like maybe the Chinese space agency doesn't believe it can beat Artemis to the moon but but wants to be doing something on the moon nevertheless.
China space agency, has already lost to U.S. in that competition to the moon so there is no competition there. China is just progressing steadily with the dream of exploring outer space.
China wants to make a Lunar Base
In the meantime, the West is struggling to find a count to the number of genders.
Hi Kevin, I like most of your epsidos. Using bricks as building materials on the Moon sounds not futuristic at all. It was truly ancient Chinese idea, more like joke to me. Sorry for saying that though I am Chinese national.
