China's Shot to the Moon: Engineering Feat or Something Much, Much Better?
On December 7th, China launched its Chang’e 4 mission to the unexplored, far side of the Moon, opening, potentially a new era of scientific discovery. As Lyndon LaRouche wrote repeatedly, space exploration is the next frontier of human discovery, of creation of whole new human platforms for higher orders of existence, as we postulate and discover the laws of the universe. From a practical perspective, the Moon could provide the most ready fuel for powering fusion reactions. Human colonization is a stepping stone to Mars.
