About 100 missions in 2024: How ambitious is China's space program?

For more:

On Monday, China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation released its annual "blue book," revealing plans to launch about 100 space missions this year, which will set a new record for the country. Why are there so many space missions planned this year? What progress has China made in its aerospace industry?

In other news, public consultation will conclude this week over the legislation of Article 23 of the Basic Law of the Hong Kong SAR. What exactly is Article 23? What does it mean for Hong Kong's future?

To answer these questions and more, we're joined by Yang Yuguang, vice chair of the International Astronautical Federation's space transportation committee; Prof. Bernard Foing, CEO of the Lunar Explorer's Society; Remco Timmermans, CEO of Spaceside; Lawrence Ma, barrister and chairman of the Hong Kong Legal Exchange Foundation; and Prof. John Gong from the University of International Business & Economics.

China is very "focus" on their goals and not to be distracted by those envy nations; that's why they are successful. Great success!!!

Instead of buying many spaces components from the West, now…nothing at all. China is serious about spaces exploration. They make good use of their resources, both human and intellectual properties for their spaces ventures.

God bless Zhungguo!!! the advancement and the discovery should be for the benefit of mankind and not used as tool to bully others.

How ambitious should any space program be, the goal should always be clear, all the steps required to achieve Faster Than Gravity travel and colonizing a planet around another star. There are a lot of steps to be taken and many worthwhile objectives along the way, the public must be inspired by the goal, so they can all contribute to it's success. How each of the steps contribute to goal should be set out, so they can see it developing, even though it might take many decades to achieve that goal, beyond their life time but getting closer and closer can still inspire them.
