China races for space dominance: Its bold plans for the moon and beyond

A trio of Chinese astronauts returned to Earth on Friday after getting stuck on China’s space station, Tiangong, for more than a week due to their spacecraft sustaining debris damage, leaving China without an immediate way of bringing home the new crew in an emergency.
