  27.  @appletongallery  - Sending people to the moon requires building the largest and the most powerful rockets in history. Back then, the USA built the spacecraft and the massively expensive Saturn V rocket (thanks to Congress increasing NASA's budget by up to 9 TIMES normal) for that purpose and it worked like a dream, hence they were able to use it to send their astronauts to the moon, but the cost meant it wasn't sustainable. In contrast, the USSR/Russia built the massively expensive N1-L3 rocket, but unfortunately it was a nightmare, it blew up during every test launch and so the USSR didn't have a rocket to send their cosmonauts to the moon. Therefore they eventually had to cancel their manned moon landing program. China became only the third nation to build rockets capable of sending people into space in 2003, thanks to help from Russia, hence they're getting there with their space program and are working towards building their own Saturn V class rocket for their future manned moon landings. Now look up NASA's massive SLS rocket which is as large as the Saturn V and slightly more powerful, where it is now complete and due to launch this February, where it will take the Orion space capsule to the moon and back to Earth. The same SLS rocket is scheduled to take a crew of astronauts inside the Orion space capsule to the moon in 2024 (lunar orbit, like Apollo 8). When the lunar lander is eventually ready, then they will land on the moon sometime after 2024 (the original plan was around 2028 before Trump tried to bring it forward to 2024).
