"The spokesperson of China's Space Development Committee officially announced in Beijing, 'We are initiating a manned Moon landing exploration program and related Lunar Scientific Investigation Station construction plans.'
Landing on the Moon has been a dream of our nation since ancient times. Thousands of years ago, there was the story of Chang'e ascending to the heavens, and even the poet Su Shi envisioned lunar landscapes in his verses of 'Prelude to Water Melody.'
China's aerospace personnel have always adhered to the principles of safety and reliability in space exploration. Since the launch of Project 921, China has sent 10 astronauts into space, achieved many accomplishments, and attained tremendous success.
Therefore, the Aerospace Development Committee, after reaching a decision, has resolved to launch our own lunar exploration program. It is reported that the mission will be accomplished using the independently designed new-generation CZ-10 rocket."
