From the article
>A Chinese mission to test resource technologies at the moon’s south pole is taking shape — and may even include a humanoid form.
>Wang Qiong, chief designer of the Chang’e 8 lunar mission, recently presented an update on the project in Beijing, according to a [post](https://m.weibo.cn/status/5099496365101079) on Chinese social media. The mission is scheduled to [launch in 2028](https://www.space.com/china-microbes-plants-lunar-resource-experiments-moon-2028) and will aim to land near [the moon](https://www.space.com/55-earths-moon-formation-composition-and-orbit.html)’s south pole. There it will conduct in-situ resource utilization technology tests — potentially using 3D-printing techniques to make a brick out of lunar regolith. It will also carry terrestrial ecosystem experiments.
>The new post shows slides detailing the Chang’e 8 spacecraft that will conduct the mission. The four-legged lander, derived from China’s previous successful [Chang’e lunar landings](https://www.space.com/china-change-6-lunar-samples-results), will carry an array of science equipment, including cameras, telescopes and a seismometer. It will also feature a crane that will deploy payloads and spacecraft on the lunar surface.
China making such progress; meanwhile America is about to collapse into religio-fascism, or civil war.
