The United States "specially" approved the application for China's Chang'e-5 lunar samples, and China publicly responded, but this answer is a bit incomprehensible, I don't know if everyone is like me, a little confused.
Indeed, the Chinese Chang'e-5 sample is very special, and the United States wants to be completely normal, and has also "specially" approved the application.
So what's going on?Is China going to give or not going to give?Let's take a look at it step by step.
China's Chang'e-5 sample is "unique", and the United States has specially approved the application.
Indeed, since China opened its application for lunar samples, countries around the world are actively applying to share China's lunar soil, and the United States is also a special "example", which also surprises many people, because it is a bit incredible for the United States to apply for China's Chang'e-5 lunar samples.
Of course, if you want to say something unexpected, it can still be answered, because when China carried out the Chang'e-5 mission, NASA publicly stated that it hoped that the lunar samples collected by China could contribute to all mankind like the American Apollo program.
Later, the director of NASA also said many times that China shared the lunar samples of Chang'e-5 and so on, so it was a bit surprising to see the United States apply for lunar samples, but it was not impossible to explain.
However, what confuses many people is that the U.S. Apollo program has so many lunar samples, up to more than 300 kilograms, and it is still short of China's lunar samples
Don't say it, it's really bad, because China's Chang'e-5 lunar samples are very special, and have created a lot of achievements, so that the United States is very "interested" about China's Chang'e-5 lunar samples, hoping to give a little, so what has it created?
There are really too many, such as:
Through the Chang'e-5 lunar study, China discovered that the magmatic activity of the moon continued until about 2 billion years ago.
Through the Chang'e-5 lunar samples, reliable evidence of elemental metal iron of the origin of the disproportionation reaction was found in the submicron-scale secondary impact crater.
In the Chang'e-5 lunar samples, special rock fragments of the lunar crust were found, indicating that there are still unrecognized geological units on the moon.
These achievements and achievements are not available to the United States, and you say that seeing these achievements, as a major country in scientific research, does the United States want it?I definitely want it.
Moreover, even some small scientific research institutions are expecting China to share a little lunar sample to create some achievements, so it is not impossible.
Since 2021, the China National Space Administration has organized six rounds of Chang'e-5 sample declarations, and issued more than 250 specimens to domestic scientific research institutes and universities, totaling 7768 grams.
The opening of the seventh batch to the international community also highlights China's determination to develop the moon exploration together and hopes to share the results. Don't be surprised by such a route, it's normal.
The United States also took this opportunity to obtain, and NASA also publicly stated that because China's lunar samples are very "special", it has specially applied for "special approval" for China's Chang'e-5 lunar samples.
Of course, here it is necessary to explain why the value of lunar samples from the Chinese Apollo program is not the same?
In fact, the reason is very simple, the landing area of the American Apollo program is not in the same area as China's Chang'e-5 lunar sample collection area, China's landing site is in the Lumke Mountains in the north of the "Storm Ocean", about 1,000 kilometers away from the "Chang'e-3" moon landing point Hongwan, which is an area that has never been explored by mankind, so the United States knows this and hopes to want it.
So what about whether China will give it or not?China's response was a bit incomprehensible.
That's right, the China National Space Administration issued a statement saying that "China has no intention of cooperating with the United States in lunar exploration", which clearly pointed out the problem.
The statement said: China attaches great importance to international cooperation in the field of space, and has always adhered to an open and inclusive attitude towards space exchanges with the United States, and China welcomes people from the scientific research community of various countries, including the United States, to apply in an appropriate manner and through appropriate channels in accordance with China's announced application procedures for lunar samples.
See?Personally, I don't understand what China's response is, and I welcome the U.S. application instructions, but I don't say whether to give it or not, so this makes me a little confused and a little incomprehensible.
However, having said that, it is not clear whether to give it or not, but it mentions the issue of the "Wolf Clause" and shows that the root cause of the inability of China and the United States to cooperate in aerospace is actually in the United States.
Such an explanation seems to be an "alluding" conclusion, that is, China may not give the United States, although theoretically speaking, the United States once gave China 1 gram of lunar samples from the Apollo program, and China used 05 grams of lunar samples, large-scale studies were also conducted.
At least "1 gram" should be sent back as a commemorative gesture, but my country also said that the United States has blocked space cooperation between China and the United States, which means that it is unlikely to continue the exchange of relevance, so it should not be given.
And if a survey is conducted, I believe that more than 99% of people do not support it, after all, it is the unilateral restriction of the United States, and this matter really cannot be blamed on our country.
Therefore, the United States may only have to cancel the "Wolf Clause" to make a transition possible.
Moreover, the United States has already cooperated in the search for China, and China has also explicitly refused, and this is already an example.
The United States applied for China's space station, but it was rejected.
Indeed, China is also fully open to the Chinese space station project, and as long as it meets China's space requirements, it can join.
Among them, 17 countries such as India and Japan have joined the Chinese space station, namely:
17 countries, including Switzerland, Poland, Germany, Italy, Norway, France, Spain, the Netherlands, India, Russia, Belgium, Kenya, Japan, Saudi Arabia, Mexico, and Peru.
And the United States did take the initiative to apply, but it was rejected by China for a simple reason - it did not meet China's requirements, in fact, there is what everyone calls the "Wolf Clause".
This directly shows that China is open, but it is not completely satisfying the United States. Moreover, when the United States applied for the Chang'e-5 lunar sample, it opened a "special case" and did not cancel the "Wolf clause".How is it possible for the United States to achieve a "win-win" situation, it is completely impossible.
Therefore, if the United States does not revoke the "Wolf Clause", it is unlikely that the space cooperation between China and the United States will ever be transformed.
