The Moon Is Not Just Poetry: The New Space Competition Between the United States, China, and Russia

本站:May 25, 2026原文:May 12, 2026

yuè qiú月球xiàn zài现在bù不zhǐ shì只是měi lì美丽de的tiān kōng天空fēng jǐng风景，yě也bù不zhǐ shì只是kē xué jiā科学家de的yán jiū研究dì fāng地方。

The Moon is now not only a beautiful sight in the sky, and not only a place for scientists to do research.

měi guó美国xiǎng想yòng用“ā ěr tè mí sī jì huà阿耳忒弥斯计划”zài cì再次sòng送rén人qù去yuè qiú月球，hái还xiǎng想hé和hěn很duō多guó jiā国家yì qǐ一起jiàn lì建立cháng qī长期jī dì基地，fā zhǎn发展yùn shū运输、tōng xìn通信、néng yuán能源hé和zī yuán资源lì yòng利用。

The United States wants to send people to the Moon again through the Artemis program, and it also wants to build a long-term base with many countries to develop transportation, communications, energy, and resource use.

zhōng guó中国yě也zài在kuài sù快速qián jìn前进，“cháng é嫦娥”jì huà计划yǐ jīng已经wán chéng完成dēng yuè登月、cǎi yàng采样hé和fǎn huí返回，hái还hé和é luó sī俄罗斯tuī dòng推动guó jì国际yuè qiú月球kē yán科研zhàn站，xiǎng想jiàn lì建立lìng另yī tào一套hé zuò合作xì tǒng系统。

China is also moving forward quickly. The Chang'e program has already completed lunar landing, sampling, and return missions, and it is also promoting the International Lunar Research Station with Russia, hoping to build another cooperative system.

dà jiā大家jìng zhēng竞争de的zhòng diǎn重点，bù不zhǐ shì只是“shuí谁xiān先dào到”，ér shì而是“shuí谁néng能dài待dé得gèng更jiǔ久、zuò做dé得gèng更hǎo好、dìng xià定下guī zé规则”。

The focus of the competition is not just “who gets there first,” but “who can stay longer, do better, and set the rules.”

yuè qiú月球shàng上kě néng可能yǒu有shuǐ bīng水冰，kě yǐ可以biàn chéng变成shuǐ水、yǎng qì氧气hé和rán liào燃料；yuè rǎng月壤kě yǐ可以bāng zhù帮助jiàn shè建设；yǒu xiē有些rén人hái还kàn zhòng看重hài -3氦-3zhè zhǒng这种wèi lái未来kě néng可能yǒu yòng有用de的néng yuán能源。

There may be water ice on the Moon, which can be turned into water, oxygen, and fuel. Lunar soil can help with construction, and some people also value helium-3 as a future energy source that may be useful.

wèi lái未来de的guān jiàn关键，shì是shuí谁néng能kòng zhì控制tōng xìn通信、dǎo háng导航、bǔ jǐ补给hé和néng yuán能源zhè xiē这些jī chǔ shè shī基础设施。

The key to the future is who can control basic infrastructure such as communications, navigation, supply, and energy.

yuè qiú月球jìng zhēng竞争qí shí其实yě也hé和dì qiú地球shàng上de的lì liàng力量jìng zhēng竞争yī yàng一样，guān xì关系dào到jì shù技术、zī yuán资源、guī zé规则hé和hé zuò合作。

The competition on the Moon is actually like the competition for power on Earth, and it is related to technology, resources, rules, and cooperation.

rén lèi人类qù去yuè qiú月球，bù不zhǐ shì只是wèi le为了mèng xiǎng梦想，yě也shì是wèi le为了wèi lái未来de的fā zhǎn发展hé和yǐng xiǎng lì影响力。

Humans go to the Moon not only for dreams, but also for future development and influence.
