Fox News
Three Chinese astronauts were launched into space on May 30, 2023, to go to the country's orbiting space station. China wants to put astronauts back on the moon by the end of 2030.
The crew, including China’s first civilian astronaut, will overlap briefly with three now aboard the Tiangong station, who will then return to Earth after completing their six-month mission.
A third module was added to the station in November, and space program officials on Monday said they have plans to expand it, along with launching a crewed mission to the moon before 2030.
