BeijingChina’s Moon plan has no crewed Apollo 8-style rehearsal.

NASA targets 2028, about a year ahead of China, though its lander could slip to 2030.

China lacks a Saturn V-class rocket, so crew and lander launch separately on Long March 10s and meet in lunar orbit.

Mengzhou still gets crewed practice closer to Earth on flights to the Tiangong space station.

An uncrewed Long March 10A and Mengzhou test to low-Earth orbit is targeted for early 2027.
