NASA's Artemis II mission successfully launched four astronauts for a lunar fly-by, part of a plan to return to the Moon by 2028. China aims to send its first crew to the lunar surface by 2030 using the Mengzhou spacecraft. The CMSA has conducted test flights for Mengzhou, with more planned before the lunar landing. NASA's timeline has faced delays, potentially allowing China to be the first nation to land on the Moon since 1972. Experts suggest China is likely to meet its deadlines.
