A former NASA administrator has raised concerns about China's long-term intentions on the Moon, suggesting they go beyond scientific exploration. The official warned that Beijing's lunar program is strategically aimed at controlling key resources and positioning on the Moon. He described China's approach as an effort to dominate what he called the 'high ground' of the 21st century.
