Since the Dawn Project began, from 1972 to 2015, over the course of 43 years, there were too many debates and considerations about landing on the Moon – a conclusion was never reached.
However, after several days of expert group meetings, when the higher-ups were convinced that Lin Ju was not boasting and truly had the capability to send people to the Moon, they also had to address the issue with an unprecedented seriousness.
Even being outstripped by America and Europe was not a significant concern, but this was just a private company!
Based on the production capacity of the Xinyuan Company's level B and C bases, the earliest Xinyuan could achieve a Moon landing was around May 2018; hence, the higher-ups, after much consideration, requested that the date for the Aerospace Agency's manned lunar mission also be moved up to before May 2018.
The Aerospace Agency... agreed.
