visits, Reuters reports. The billionaire’s private jet has been spotted at Beijing airport. The machine was scheduled to leave Alaska on Tuesday morning in Asia. The flight over Japan and South Korea was recorded by services specializing in aircraft tracking.
The agency reports that the owner of Twitter will meet with officials and visit the Tesla factory in Shanghai. If the information is confirmed, it would mean that Musk visited China for the first time in three years. It would not be unreasonable, because for Tesla, China is the second largest market after the US.
Elon Musk visited China. Is it about the Tesla factory or the conquest of space?
The media is paying attention to something else. In a recent social media post, Elon Musk highly praised the Chinese space program. “It’s more advanced than you might think,” he said. His words were a reference to earlier statements of Internet users who commented on China’s plans for space. “By 2030, the Chinese will certainly be able to set foot on the moon,” wrote Wu Weiren, chief designer of China’s lunar exploration program.
As we have already reported, China plans to build a base on the moon later this decade. Lunar soil is to be used as its building material, which will be turned into bricks by a special robot. The first brick is to be built in 5 years. In 2025, it is planned to take a sample from its far side. Nobody had done it before. Then the Chinese want to create the first lunar brick. Ultimately, China wants its astronauts to settle for as long as possible on the moon. This will require the creation of a lunar research station.
