NASA chief warns of Chinese military presence in space

NASA administrator Bill Nelson cautioned lawmakers about China’s expanding space capabilities, suggesting that its civilian program might mask military intentions.

Nelson emphasized China’s secrecy and highlighted the possibility that its civilian space endeavors serve military purposes.

He underscored the importance of remaining vigilant in what he characterized as a competitive space race.

Speaking before the House appropriations committee on NASA’s fiscal 2025 budget, Nelson stressed the need for the United States to prioritize lunar exploration, aiming to land astronauts on the moon before China.

He expressed concerns that China’s potential lunar presence could lead to territorial claims, Phys.org has reported.
