In space exploration, China may not have the capacity of the United States and Russia, but has the same ambitions with them.
Beijing is giving the project the final touch to send humans back to the moon and not simply to make a few steps, but to bring thence important material that can transform that country into the global energy superpower.
The aim of the mission is the establishment of a minesaft on the surface of our only natural satellite.
Monday ISOTOP is rich in Helium-3, a rare substance on Earth and highly valued safety of nuclear power plants. Also, these ISOTOP can be used as fuel for spacecraft and in other areas that require a great energy.
Value than Helium-3 is enough to mention the fact that a ton of the material costs about $ 1 billion in the current market, while it is proved that only a few meters from its surface, the Moon saves tons of this substance.
As part of this mission, in 2013 China sent a probe on the moon, and in the coming months there wants to send a robot to bring to Earth samples from the surface of the moon.
