TOKYOâJapan revised the schedule of its space exploration plans on Tuesday, aiming to put a Japanese person on the moon by the latter half of the 2020s.
âNot only is space a frontier that gives people hopes and dreams but it also provides a crucial foundation to our economic society with respect to our economic security,â Prime Minister Fumio Kishida told a meeting to finalize the plan.
According to the draft schedule of the plan, Japan aims to put the first non-American on the moon as part of the Artemis program, a U.S.-led initiative that aims to return astronauts to the moon.
