Although more than 50 years have passed since humans set foot Luna, The mission to explore this natural satellite is still ongoing. Now, it has been revealed that a Japanese man will be the first foreigner to visit the star, This is thanks to a new collaboration between the United States and the country of the rising sun
According to NASA, the United States and Japan have entered into an agreement through the Artemis program, which states that the Asian country will design, develop and operate a pressurized rover to allow both manned and unmanned exploration of the Moon. Also, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, or JAXA for its English acronym, It will carry two astronauts to the lunar surface.
Unfortunately, at this point it is unknown when this campaign will take place, Or who will be chosen to be part of this mission. In this regard, a joint statement between US President Joe Biden and Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida made these comments:
“Leaders announced a shared goal of a Japanese national becoming the first non-U.S. astronaut to reach the Moon on a future Artemis mission, assuming key criteria are met.”
Thus, one of these two Japanese would become the thirteenth person to walk on the moon and First foreigner to do so. However, there is a small problem with this desire, and that is that China may defeat them, since this country hopes to send a crew to the moon before 20230. We can only wait to see who will be the first alien to set foot on the moon. In related matters, NASA returns to the moon. Similarly, a metal letter was sent to the moon.

More than 50 years have passed, but things haven’t changed much. The United States continues to compete in the space race, only this time against China, not the USSR.
