They have delayed their new Long March. Here is hoping they adopt Yangal's R-56 monoblock instead.

another delay on Shenzhou
China will postpone the launch of its third manned space mission Shenzhou-7 spacecraft for about half a year to 2008, a senior consultant to the country's space program said here Saturday.
"There is nothing wrong. We just need more time to prepare for the mission," said Huang Chunping, chief consultant for China's manned launching vehicle system, in an exclusive interview with Xinhua.
Tang Xianming, director of the China Manned Space Engineering Office, announced last year that the next manned mission would take place in 2007 and would include a spacewalk.

The timetable depends on when researchers can tackle the key problem of the space suit, which will play a critical role in the anticipated space mission that includes a one-man space walking, said Huang, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC).
Huang, commander-in-chief of the rocket system for Shenzhou-5, China's first manned mission, is in Beijing attending CPPCC National Committee's annual session, which started on Friday afternoon and will last about ten days till March 13.

China: moon landing planned for 2024Originally Posted by Lianachan

Long Lehao, deputy chief architect of the lunar probing project, told Hong Kong newspaper Wen Wei Po that the country "possesses the technology, materials and the economic strength" to put a man on the moon.
In earlier reports, Chinese media reported manned missions were being planned for 2017, which was then stage three of the project. However, it now seems China's space programme has four stages, culminating in the manned lunar mission

Wasn't a Russian scientist in trouble for giving some secrets to China? Sadly the Treasury lloks to have frozen China's assets--according to the latest ish of AV Week & Space.

Shortly after Chinese media reported manned missions planed for 2017,
Bushies administration announced return to the Moon on - 2016!
That just shows how weak US space innitiative is, if we need somebody
from outside to make us go to the space...
We as a nation can't find inner strenght, but we depend on outside competition
in order to move here or there... thats not good in long run.
This applies not only to the space exploration, but to the almost every aspect
of US life, especially with our dependency on foreign oil.

This is probably one of the few things you have said on this board I agree with, but unfortunately that is the way of things. Regan attempted to raise interest in returning to the Moon in around 1985, but the idea fell flat. For the US to get to the moon again it's going to take the same thing as the first time, an interested public willing to back it, and competition seems to be something to actually increase public interest. Unfortunately when that competition is finally won (or lost) the public then lose interest quickly, hence the fate of Apollo.

I just noticed something...
WHY IS THIS TOPIC IN "CONSPIRACY THEORIES" FORUM???
There is no "return" to the Moon, it will be first time landing of humans on the Moon.
Regan attempted... well, I won't write more about it here, because
the topic is about Chinese going to the Moon, probably they will be the first
to land a human being to our natural satellite for the first time in
known history of this planet.

Looks like it was "Grandfathered" in from the BABB. The first posts date back to 2002. BAUT was formed from the older UT and BABB forums, and there was a lot of thread shuffling.
If that's what you think, please present your technical arguments to support your position. Mind, I'd be very surprised if you actually had anything new, beyond the faulty arguments I've heard way too many times.There is no "return" to the Moon, it will be first time landing of humans on the Moon.
I say there is an invisible elf in my backyard. How do you prove that I am wrong?

You're welcome to start proving that whenever you want.

You have already expressed your opinion. There is a thread here waiting for you to back it up with specific, and where appropriate quantitative, arguments.
Repeating your opinion is not the same as backing it up.
Regan attempted... well, I won't write more about it here, because the topic is about Chinese going to the Moon, probably they will be the first to land a human being to our natural satellite for the first time in known history of this planet.
You might start by explaining exactly what would enable the Chinese to do this that could not be done by Apollo. (Hint: arguments like "they have better technology now!" are useless handwaving.)

Why didn't the U.S go to the moon in 1935?
DISCLAIMER: I believe the U.S. put men on the moon. I'm not some Hoax nut-job.
Bad Post-Doc
I think the point was that you have to be specific about what's "better" about the technology. For example, in 1935, I'm pretty sure they didn't have solid-fuel rockets, mylar, or people with the kind of piloting experience of the Apollo astronauts."(Hint: arguments like "they have better technology now!" are useless handwaving.)"

Because they didn't want to pay rent to the Nazi's.
