The Long Game: China Seeks to Transfer Its Silk Industry to Far Side of the Moon

To talk about a trade war inside the Solar system transport silk is one of the most popular products in the world – could be done on the moon, and imported to earth.

Just because China’s forthcoming lunar missions unmanned doesn’t mean he will be free in order to check the possibility of self-maintenance of the biosphere, which can lead to more serious projects in civil marriage flora and fauna will be delivered to the lunar surface together with a mechanical study device.

Adding to the science that can lead to profitable human habitation of our closest satellite, China’s Chang’e 4 moon mission, the launch of which is planned in June that will include experiments designed to create small, self-contained biosphere between silkworms and potatoes, and carbon dioxide from worms to feed the plants, and oxygen is released by plants will contribute to creatures to thrive as well.

Named for Chang’e, the Chinese goddess of the moon, the lunar exploration program, Beijing will see its second significant unmanned launch will take place this summer and is expected to land on the moon by the end of this year.

And also need to have multiple devices for research — among many celestial phenomena — cosmic rays and solar corona, the lander will also carry a box of water, nutrient solution, data transmission system and a small camera to record the progress of living beings eke out an existence on the moon.

In an unprecedented experiment, sunlight flooding the lunar landscape will be sent to the window to cause the growth of plants and seeds. Oxygen is released by the growing plants — I hope — will cause the worms to hatch from their cocoons. These little creatures, in turn, release carbon dioxide and wastes, and voila! the cycle of life in a foreign environment will be observed, according to Chinese scientists.

If successful, self-replicating biospheres will be a lot to add to the ever growing font of the data that will one day be used to maintain a human habitat on the moon, according to Beijing.

“Our experiment can help to accumulate the knowledge to create a lunar base and long-term stays on the moon,” said Professor Liu Hanlong, General Manager of the experiment and Vice-President of Chongqing University, recalls the news Agency “Xinhua”.

While the astronauts orbiting the earth have already conducted successful experiments with different plants, made it to the moon is a fundamentally different task, according to reports.

Recalling the low gravity and no atmosphere, “environment on the moon, 380,000 kilometers from Earth, more complex,” Xinhua said in the report details of the forthcoming lunar missions.
