China needs smarter planners for moon projects. An orbital infrastructure for the Moon would let ANY groups get communication, memory and powerful computing to projects and experiments on the far side. Real planning, collaboration, real infrastructure can help whole generations work efficiently and with much less risk. Every country “doing its own thing” where the
