One would almost have to achieve global importance and big guns before moon mining is within reach. Russia would be more likely than China probably given their level of spacefaring ability right?
- njarboe 4y agoIt gets almost no press but China has a very active space industry and is quickly advancing its space technology. Russia's space technology has not advanced much since the 1960's. China has built its own space station in the last few years, did a moon sample return recently (first rocks back from the moon since the 1970's), and has companies working on making re-usable rockets.
