[FPSPACE] China's new Moon schedule

[Charles Vick]

We have to remember that those programs mature in the middle of those two
five year plans 2020-2025 and 2026-2030. so yes there is a partial delay
extending over into the next five year plan contingency issues in planning

This appears to be a delay from the earlier planned 2020-2025 start.

The CE 1.5 lunar probe is aimed at providing the highest resolution and best
data set for the Moon of any nation's. 

I have no further analysis of this yet, or how it relates to ISS operations
from 2015 on, or China's possible participation in ISS, or the recent
Russian statements on later use of ISS components.

Both Bolden and Garver have experience in international missions.
