It has been forty years since Neil Armstrong landed on the moon, now after the recent discovery of water on the moon a new interest has been sparked about finally heading back. In this new moon race has new contenders, the US and Russia are no longer in the lead. By 2015 it might be a Chinese man to be the next to step foot on the moon. | ||

Our concept of the moon stems from the three Chinese moon myths the story of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chang%27e/ Chang'e] 嫦娥, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wu_Gang/ Wu Gang]吴刚 , and the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon_rabbit/ Jade Rabbit] 玉兔. These three myths revolve around a mystical laurel tree that grows on the moon. | |||
