NASA chief: China may declare the Moon its territory

NASA chief Bill Nelson expressed his concerns about China’s space program in an interview with Bild. Nelson believes that China may one day invade the Moon.

They can destroy other people’s satellites

“We should be very worried about the Chinese landing on the Moon and saying, ‘This is us and you stay away,'” Nelson said. He used his statements and argued that China’s space program is a military space program. The head of NASA also believes that the United States has entered a new era in the space race, and now its rivals are China, which is leading the military exploration of space.

Nelson said, “Well, what do you think will happen on the Chinese space station? There they will learn how to destroy other satellites.” said. If we recall the Outer Space Agreement, we can say that the statements of the head of NASA sound quite strange. Because this agreement, in addition to the prohibition of weapons of mass destruction in space, includes a clause stating that no natural celestial body can be the property of any country.
