The ancient Chinese have contributed many things to science. People have applied the ideas and information the Chinese came up with to create better technology. For example, the Chinese made an early form of a rocket, and using those early ideas we are capable of launching people into space, and even landing on the moon. Because the actual Chinese space program did not form until the founding of the People's Republic of China, they have been taking steps to close the gap between them, the Russians and the Americans. Currently, the Chinese have made it a goal to revisit the Moon.

| - The space program of the People's Republic of China (PRC) began in 1956 with the cooperation of the USSR and continued as an indigenous nuclear deterrent program after the Sino-Soviet split in 1960. The Chinese space programme was initiated at the behest of the Central Military Commission for fulfilling national defence needs. The potential military utility of space was the central reason for China embarking on its national space programme since 1956. The programme was aimed at developing China’s aviation, guided missiles, rockets and missile defence needs. Thus, the first products of its space programme were not Satellite Launch Vehicles (SLVs) or satellites, rather they were Ballistic Missiles like the Dongfeng-1 (DF-1), -2, -3, -4 and -5. Of these, the DF-4 and DF-5 became SLVs like the Changzheng-1 (CZ-1)and CZ-2 respectively . Thus,PRC's first satellite, Dongfanghong I (The East Is Red I), was launched only two and a half decades later in 1970, making China the fifth spacefaring nation. The manned space program began in 1968, and China became the third country to put a human in space in 2003.
