| 0:00.0 | This is John Bachelor. In conversation with my colleague Rick Fisher of the International |
| 0:05.2 | Assessment and Strategy Center, we discuss the best estimate for China putting a moon |
| 0:11.0 | base down on the south pole of the moon, 50 tons in dirt, moon orbit, and then to the |
| 0:17.6 | surface. Here's the exchange with Rick. So right now, the best expectation is 2030 for |
| 0:25.3 | the first test if there is a non-reusable version. |
| 0:29.4 | Yes. And that would put China on the moon somewhere in the early 2030s. Is that your best |
| 0:35.2 | estimate? Yes, they will be approaching the ability of starship to put mass on the |
| 0:43.7 | moon by 2030 perhaps and most likely by 2035 to 2036 depending upon how successful |
| 0:55.0 | their their testing goes. This is John Bachelor. |
