On May 30, the Shenzhou-16 manned spacecraft successfully docked with the China Space Station. The three taikonauts on the mission will replace the three-member Shenzhou-15 crew, who arrived at the station in November last year. China also aims to send a crewed mission to the moon by 2030. What's special about the Shenzhou-16 mission? And what challenges will China encounter to realize a crewed lunar landing and other lunar explorations? Guests in this edition of Dialogue are Dr Yang Yuguang of the China Aerospace Science & Industry Corporation, Dr Giuseppe Reibaldi, president of the Moon Village Association in Vienna, and Professor Zhang Fan from Beijing Normal University.
