The country has now built an artificial moon facility that will simulate lunar conditions and the environment for scientists to test new tech and future missions.

Being called the "first of its kind in the world", the facility located in the eastern city of Xuzhou, in Jiangsu province, will make gravity “disappear”. The facility can replicate low gravity environments for as long as one wants.
