Dream Boat Manned Moon Landing
The Dream Boat was a new generation of manned spacecraft for China's manned lunar exploration mission. China planned to achieve its first manned moon landing plan by 2030, and the Dream Boat spacecraft would play an important role in this plan. It was a new type of shuttle transport aircraft that was fully upgraded and developed on the basis of the Shenzhou spacecraft. It adopted a module design and was composed of a return capsule and a service module. It had the characteristics of high safety, high reliability, multi-mission support, and re-use. The moon landing mission could carry three astronauts to and from the ground and the lunar orbit, and the low-Earth orbit mission could carry seven astronauts to and from the ground and the space station. During the moon landing process, the Long March 10 launch vehicle would send the Dreamboat spacecraft to the Earth-Moon transfer orbit. It would rendezvous and dock with the lunar lander in lunar orbit. The astronauts would enter the lander, and the lander would send the astronauts to the moon. After completing the mission, they would return to Earth according to the procedure. As of February 25, 2024, the Dreamboat spaceship had fully entered the initial stage of development, and the development and construction work was stepping up.

China's Moon Landing Dream Boat
According to China's moon landing plan, the launch site for the manned moon landing was in Wenchang, Hainan. However, no information about the specific landing sites of the Dream Boat (moon landing spacecraft) and the Lanyue (lander) was found.
China Manned Moon Landing
The initial plan for China's manned moon landing was to use two launch vehicles to send the lunar lander and the manned spacecraft to the lunar orbit. After the rendezvous and docking in orbit, the astronauts would enter the lunar lander from the spacecraft. The lunar lander would descend and land on a predetermined area of the moon. Astronauts would land on the moon for scientific exploration and sample collection. After completing the mission, the astronauts would take the lander to the lunar orbit to rendezvous with the spacecraft and return to Earth with the sample. To achieve this goal, Chinese researchers were developing the Long March 10 launch vehicle, a new generation of manned spacecraft, lunar lander, manned lunar rover, and other equipment. According to the plan, China planned to achieve a manned landing on the moon by 2030 and carry out scientific exploration.
Where is the location of China's moon landing dream boat
China's manned moon landing will be launched at the Wenchang Space Launch Site in Hainan, thus realizing the dream of landing on the moon. The Wenchang Space Launch Site had a superior geographical location, about 19° from the equator. It was the latest space launch base in China. It was the closest to the equator, which allowed the rocket to send the spacecraft to a higher orbit with the least amount of energy, greatly reducing the launch cost and increasing the success rate of the launch. Moreover, since China's manned moon landing plan was proposed, heavy rockets were needed for launch. The Wenchang Space Launch Site also met this demand.

The origin of the Dream Boat Manned Spaceship
After the completion of the China space station, landing on the moon became the next goal for the China to explore space. In August 2023, the China Manned Space Engineering Office launched a campaign to collect the names of new spacecraft for manned lunar exploration missions. It received nearly 2000 contributions from organizations and people from all walks of life in the fields of aerospace, science and technology, and cultural communication. After a review by experts, the new generation of manned spacecraft was named "Dream Boat" in February 2024. The Dreamboat was a new type of transport aircraft that was completely upgraded and developed on the basis of the Shenzhou spacecraft. It was composed of a return cabin and a service cabin.

Has the manned moon landing been realized?
In 1961 - 1972, the United States achieved a manned mission to the moon through the Apollo program. A total of six spacecraft successfully landed on the moon, and 12 astronauts stayed on the surface of the moon. China planned to land a man on the Moon by 2030 and was currently working on preparations such as a new generation of manned spacecraft and rockets.(Including the new generation of manned launch vehicle Long March 10, the new generation of manned spacecraft, lunar lander, lunar landing suit and other flight products), the construction of launch site related test launch facilities and equipment, and the scientific research objectives and supporting load of the first manned moon landing mission were basically confirmed. The launch site, measurement and control communication, landing field and other ground systems were also being developed in an orderly manner.

Manned Moon Landing Mission Pushed Forward
In China, the manned moon landing mission progressed smoothly. The manned moon landing mission in 2023 had been officially approved and was now fully in the initial stage of development. The Long March 10 launch vehicle, the Dream Boat Manned Spaceship, the Lunar Lander, the Manned Lunar Rover, and other initial products were in the process of development. Some products had been developed and tested. It had also completed large-scale tests such as the comprehensive airdrop of the spacecraft, the separation of the two compartments of the lander, the test of the first-stage three-engine power system of the rocket core, and the high-altitude simulation test of the YF -75E hydrogen oxygen engine. A batch of ground facilities and equipment to ensure the production test had also been built and put into use. The scientific research objectives and supporting load plan for the pre-manned flight test and the first manned moon landing mission were basically confirmed. The launch site, measurement, control, communication, landing site and other ground systems were being developed in an orderly manner. The United States also had a successful Apollo program for manned moon landings. From 1961 to 1972, many manned moon landings were successfully carried out. For example, Apollo 14 was the third successful manned moon landing mission. This showed that the United States 'manned moon landing mission at that time was also smooth and successful.

China's Manned Moon Landing Blueprint Appears
China's manned moon landing plan was clearly to be realized by 2030. There were many aspects to this plan: 1. ** Launch Vehicle and Spaceship **: The Long March 10 launch vehicle will be used. Its core stage has a diameter of 10 meters and can only be launched at the Wenchang launch site. The manned spacecraft involved was the Dream Boat spacecraft, which had been tested in May 2020. There was also the lunar lander, which was undergoing preliminary manufacturing and related tests. Two Long March 10 rockets, one carrying the lunar lander and the other carrying the Dream Boat spacecraft, would complete the rendezvous and docking above the lunar orbit. 2. ** Astronauts arrangement **: A total of three astronauts will participate. Two of them will be transferred from the Dream Boat spacecraft to the lunar lander, and one will stay in the Dream Boat spacecraft. Lan Yue brought two astronauts to land on the Moon's South Pole (judging from the communication method, the landing point was on the front of the Moon, and the Magpie Bridge relay satellite was not used). The two astronauts who landed on the moon were expected to stay for three days, driving a foldable lunar rover that could reach a speed of 11 kilometers per hour and reach up to 20 kilometers away from the lander to explore in three directions. After the mission was completed, the lander's ascender took two astronauts to lunar orbit and docked with the Dreamboat spacecraft. Then, the three astronauts returned to Earth on the Dreamboat. The fourth batch of astronauts had already begun training and would undertake the manned mission to the moon. 3. [Mission objectives: We have initially planned nine scientific goals in the three fields of lunar science, moon-based science, and resource exploration and utilization. The goal is to carry out lunar scientific exploration and related technological experiments, rather than simply pursuing fame.] One of the two astronauts who landed on the moon might be a load expert, and it was highly likely that he was a geologist. However, the first manned moon landing might be mainly to verify the feasibility, and there might not be a load expert. There would only be one for subsequent missions. 4. Equipment manufacturing and testing: The Long March 10 launch vehicle, the Dream Boat manned spacecraft, the Moon Lander, the lunar spacesuit, and the manned lunar rover were carrying out the production of initial products and related ground tests as planned. They had completed large-scale tests such as the comprehensive airdrop of the spacecraft, the separation of the lander, the first-stage three-engine power system test of the rocket core, and the high-altitude simulation test of the YF -75E hydrogen engine. A batch of ground facilities and equipment to ensure the above-mentioned production tests had been completed and put into use. The launch site, measurement and control communication, landing site and other ground systems were being developed and built in an orderly manner.
