Japan Sets Its Sights on the Moon

Japan is planning to land an unmanned rover on the lunar surface sometime in the middles of the 2010’s. Apparently China and India have already announced plans to place a spacecraft on the mysterious satellite. The rover will examine the moon’s geology trying to find natural resources. Here are some other interesting facts about Japan:

-Japan has already crashed landed a rocket on the moon, and a couple weeks ago they put a satellite into lunar orbit.

-Japan has never attempted a manned spaceflight, but the country hopes to put men on the moon by 2025.

-The capital of Japan is Tokyo

Who knows what could be next for Japan? Look out USA seems to me like we are going to have a race to put man on Mars!!!
