- As tensions remain high over U.S.-Chinese trade negotiations there has been cooperation elsewhere in the galaxy, pun intended.
- Chinese space scientists and NASA cooperated on China’s historic lunar landing on the far side of the moon in January.
- In the first such collaboration since a 2011 U.S. law banning joint space projects with China, NASA shared information about it’s lunar satellite and China shared the coordinates of its lunar rover. This allowed scientists to track the Chinese landing, Fox News reports.
- Do you think the US should cooperate with China on space exploration? Is it time for another manned lunar landing?
