Evidence of water on the moon has ignited discussions about establishing a lunar research station.
Recent research led by scientists from the Chinese mainland has discovered water molecules in the Chang'e 5 lunar sample, marking a significant milestone in lunar exploration.
Nasr Al-Sahhaf, chair of the International Moon Day, emphasized the urgent need for a research station \"for humanity to be on the moon in a sustainable manner\" to understand the moon and explore the deeper universe. Al-Sahhaf shared his insights with CGTN during an International Moon Day event in Harbin City, northeast the Chinese mainland's Heilongjiang Province.
This groundbreaking discovery could pave the way for future missions and the potential for a long-term human presence on the moon, fostering a new era of space exploration.
