The Chang'e 8 mission, in addition to scientific surveys and experiments, will test key technologies to lay the groundwork for the construction of a science and research base on the moon, Xinhua reported.

For potential settlement, the lunar poles offer the most moderate temperature range." -------------------- "The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena"

Admin note: This will be a very interesting mission, and I remind all to keep rules 1.5 and 1.6 in mind while discussing it. Thanks!
