There were several Dawn Plans involving manned space flight: - China's "Dawn One" project (714 Project): Research was carried out in the late 1960s and early 1970s. It was planned to be launched in 1973, but it was eventually cancelled in May 1972. Although the plan was not implemented, it trained talents for China's manned space flight and did a lot of pioneering work. At that time, several sub-orbital flight tests carried out by rockets carrying animals were successful. - The European Space Agency's "Dawn Project" began preparations at the end of 2001. It was planned to land on the Moon in 2024 and then visit Mars in 2030. The budget was as high as 900 million euros. In its plan, Europe would play a key role in the manned space program. In 2007, it planned to launch a small artificial satellite to test the Mars probe and Mars soil sample recovery technology. In 2011 - 2014, it planned to bring Mars rock samples back to Earth. In addition to France, Italy, and the United Kingdom, countries such as Canada, Switzerland, and belgium also hoped to join. The novel "Hundred Years of Spaceship" is equally exciting.

The first manned space program of the United States was Project Mercury. The Mercury project was launched in 1958. It was the first manned space program of the National Aerobatics and Space Administration (NASA). It was designed to send humans into Earth orbit and return safely. This plan laid the technical foundation for the subsequent Gemini and Apollo projects. The main goals of Project Mercury included developing the basic technologies needed for manned space flight, such as spacecraft design, launch systems, life support systems, orbit control, and reentry technology; studying human physiological and psychological reactions in the space environment; and demonstrating the capabilities of the United States in the field of manned space flight. During the Mercury program, there were six manned space missions, from Alan Shepard's first suborbital flight on May 5, 1961, to Gordon Cooper's last orbital flight on May 15 - 16, 1963. These missions gradually verified the key technologies of manned space flight and accumulated valuable experience for the subsequent manned space exploration of the United States.

On September 21,1992, the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee approved the implementation of China's manned spaceflight project according to the "three-step" development strategy. The first step was to launch a manned spacecraft, build a preliminary experimental manned spacecraft project, and carry out space application experiments. The second step was to break through the technology of astronauts 'extraterrestrial activities and the rendezvous and docking technology of spacecraft, launch a space laboratory, and solve the space application problem of a certain scale and short-term care. The third step was to build a space station to solve the problem of large-scale space applications with long-term care. On October 15, 2003, China successfully launched its first manned spacecraft,"Shenzhou V", and successfully landed on October 16. This marked that China became the third country to master manned space technology after the United States and Russia. China's manned spaceflight project involved many systems, such as manned spacecraft, launch vehicles, spacecraft launch sites and recovery facilities, space measurement and control networks, and sometimes other ground support. There was continuous progress in rendezvous and docking technology. From the first automatic rendezvous and docking between the Shenzhou-8 spacecraft and Tiangong-1 in 44 hours in 2011 to the three-hour rendezvous and docking mode of the Tianzhou-7 cargo spacecraft in 2024. The three-hour mode reduced the requirements for rocket orbit conditions, precision measurement and control, and improved the flexibility and reliability of mission execution. It also marked the maturity and leadership of China's rendezvous and docking technology. China's launch vehicle technology was also constantly developing. For example, the Long March 7 Yao-9 launch vehicle had a low-Earth orbit carrying capacity of 14 tons. It was the basic model of China's new generation of medium-sized launch vehicles, which could meet the orbit accuracy requirements of the Tianzhou cargo spacecraft and the operating space station. Moreover, the Chang-7 rocket team continued to improve the product and process reliability, and also set up backup arrows to ensure the normal operation of the space station. The Tianzhou cargo spacecraft transported cargo for the space station, replenished the propellants, brought back waste, and supported space science experiments. For example, the Tianzhou-8 cargo spacecraft carried living supplies, platform equipment, propellants, and scientific payloads that could support three astronauts in orbit for nine months. There were also holiday gift bags and customized birthday gift bags. It had the ability to launch every day, and it also increased the cargo loading capacity through various means. It was also the first time to carry the " lunar soil brick " for space exposure experiments. At present, China's manned lunar exploration project plans to achieve manned landing on the moon by 2030, carry out lunar scientific exploration and related technical experiments, break through and master key technologies such as manned land-moon round-trip, short-term lunar surface stay, man-machine joint exploration, and complete multiple missions such as "landing, patrol, mining, research, and return". The Long March 10 launch vehicle, the Dream Boat manned spacecraft, the lunar lander, the lunar landing spacesuit, Manned lunar rover and other vehicles were carrying out prototype production and related ground tests as planned.
