China is expected to push forward in its quest to build the first lunar base on Friday, launching an in-space experiment to test whether the station's bricks could be made from the Moon's own soil.
Brick samples will blast off aboard a cargo rocket heading for China's Tiangong space station, part of Beijing's mission to put humans on the Moon by 2030 and build a permanent base there by 2035.

NASA is prioritizing astronaut safety in the harsh conditions of the Moon, with a focus on developing reliable systems for rescue operations during missions at the Lunar South Pole. With the Artemis III mission set to deploy two astronauts in this region, the agency is preparing for potential emergency scenarios that could incapacitate a crewmember due to medical issues, injuries, or accidents.
