China this week became the third nation to land a rover on the Moon, and experts believe the country will follow up with a manned mission to the lunar surface in just a matter of years. The country's rapidly improving program and America's perceived lack of direction could, years from **w, lead to a new space (http://mashable.com/category/space/?utm_medium=feed&utm_source=rss) race.
The spacecraft Chang'e 3 and its rover, Yutu (http://mashable.com/2013/12/15/chinas-moon-lander-takes-a-space-selfie/?utm_campaign=&utm_context=textlink&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=), are only on the lunar surface to explore (http://www.space.com/23968-china-moon-rover-historic-lunar-landing.html). But China's zeal for space is unmatched, and its program is developing fast — to the point that it can be recognized as a space power. Just what that means for the U.S. is up for debate.
