I tried to google it with key words like "Chang'e budget", but found nothing useful. However, I did found an article about the history[0]. Here is some fact: Back to 90s, there were Chinese scientists suggesting for lunar exploration. But the projects requires a budget around 1.5B, which was declined by the prime minister LI Peng (Family name first.)

- SEJeff 13y agoI wish the Chinese space program the best. Every success pushes mankind (all nationalities) forward in our understanding of the universe.
- TrainedMonkey 13y agoThat. Hopefully we can get another space race this time against China. Sending people to Mars or establishing moon colony for example.
- SEJeff 13y agoI suspect Elon Musk will win that one and as a result America :) SpaceX is doing quite well thusfar.
- df41 13y agoI spent 2 minutes with google and it seems the closest I could get is this: http://news.qq.com/a/20120625/000134.htm http://news.qq.com/a/20120625/000134.htm Basically it says the total spending on manned space missions is less than RMB 40B from 1992 to 2013. That translates to about 6.7B in current ratio. 2 NEST to send man to space. Not too bad IMO.
