On December 15, the official website of NASA published such a news, "The Director of NASA has signed a statement of intent to cooperate with Brazil." And this "cooperation intention" refers to " Artemis Project ".
On October 13, 2020, under the leadership of NASA, eight countries including the United States, Italy, Australia, Canada, Japan, Luxembourg, the United Arab Emirates, and the United Kingdom signed the Artemis Agreement. In November, Ukraine also joined the agreement. Adding Brazil to , the number of countries joining the agreement has officially increased to 10 .
As early as 51 years ago, the American "Apollo Project" was a great success, so the next moon landing project was named after Apollo's twin sister, , the moon god Artemis .

On November 24, China's Chang'e-5 probe lifted off smoothly. Just three days later, NASA engineers suddenly began to rush to build a large rocket to prepare for the Artemis plan. In this regard, CNN once published an article saying that as sees the successful launch of the Chinese probe, NASA is also rushing to work.
According to the plan, Artemis 1 will be launched in 2021, and the probe will fly twice around the moon. By 2023, Artemis 2 will achieve a manned flight around the moon. All of this is in preparation for Artemis 3 in 2024.
If all goes well for the launch plan, by 2024, a female astronaut and a male astronaut will realize the moon landing plan. NASA declared: " is part of the strategic plan to run from the moon to Mars. "
In this context, the "Artemis Agreement" was born. In accordance with the requirements of the agreement, participating countries can work with the United States to obtain the ownership of mineral resources on the moon , and establish a safety zone around the lunar base after the construction of the lunar base to prevent other countries and companies from sabotaging the mining work.

. In other words, America’s move is equivalent to leading several countries to "divide the moon."
In this regard, the Russian Satellite News Agency published an article on December 15 that the Russian Aerospace State Group has seen through the US tricks. Sergey Savelyev, vice president of the Russian Aerospace Corporation, believes that within the framework of the moon landing plan, does not rule out the United States has the purpose of implementing a military plan. The
report pointed out that there seemed to be no details in the agreement. But in fact, did not directly prohibit military activities on the moon. Z2z at the Russian Federation Council, Saveliev said bluntly: "We believe that we do not rule out that the plan has a military nature. The United States and its counterparts may militarize the plan when needed."
throughout the Artemis plan China, the United States just did not invite China, Russia, and other countries. But in fact, has no American share in the Chinese space station.
Chinese space station
According to the plan, China's Tiangong space station will be completed around 2022 and will begin formal operations. At present, has successfully passed the review of 9 projects in 17 countries and has been selected as the first scientific experiment in the space. But the United States, known as the number one power, has never appeared on this list once.
Regarding the reasons for rejecting the American team, Zhou Jianping, the chief engineer of China’s manned spaceflight, once said bluntly: " American projects have not met the scientific and technological standards. Z2z"
This is not nonsense. In recent years, International Space Station frequently Bad news came out. Earlier, the Dragon spacecraft developed by the United States arrived at the International Space Station, but produced a large amount of toxic isopropane gas, which almost caused the International Space Station to be paralyzed. In addition, public information shows that if the service life is not extended, the international space station may be decommissioned in 2024.
At that time, Tiangong space station may become the only space station in the world.
