China has big dreams, and they'll probably materialize. They became the third nation to land a rover on the Moon, and now experts believe that they want to follow up with a manned mission to the lunar surface in a matter of years.

Could this lead to a new space race? Will China's success renew the interest in space in the countries that have the capabilities to go there? Yutu, is currently on the surface of the moon exploring it.

Chang'e 3 is big enough to hold much more than the rover it deposited, meaning the Chinese could have fit a larger, more capable robot in there. They may even be able to squeeze one or two humans in there too.
