(French New Electric), the National Aerospace Director of the United States, said that China is strengthening space capabilities and covering space military projects in the name of civilian use. He urges Washington to maintain alert.
The Congress of the House of Representatives Delivery Committee held a hearing on Wednesday (April 17) on the National Aerospace Administration (NASA) budget in 2025.NASA Director Nelson said at the meeting that China has made extraordinary progress in the aerospace field, especially in the past ten years.
But he pointed out that China is very mysterious."We believe that their so -called civil space projects are actually largely military. I think we are actually competitions."
Nelson hopes that Beijing can "wake up" and understand that civil space projects should be used for peaceful purposes, but at present the United States has not seen China showing this.
He also said that when China and the United States are competing for space, the United States should land the moon again before China, and if China takes the lead in reaching the moon, it may call the moon as its own.
Both China and the United States have the moon landing plan. The "Artemis 3" mission in the United States is prepared to send astronauts to the moon in 2026, and China intends to realize the human astronaut's moon landing by 2030.
Nelson believes that the United States will not lose its global leading advantage in the field of space exploration, but it must also see reality, because China has invested a lot of funds in this field, and there is still much room for growth in the budget. It is best not to relax the United States.alert.
