CPPCC National Committee member Zhang Guangjun stated that space travel is achievable, but currently primarily serves a small group, and ordinary people cannot yet afford widespread consumption.

During the National People’s Congress and the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, Zhang Guangjun, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, Academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, and former Vice Minister of the Ministry of Science and Technology, told the “Daily Economic News” reporter: “Regarding space travel, I believe it can definitely be achieved, but at present, it still focuses on a very small group. Making it affordable for ordinary people and achieving large-scale application is still a long process. From the current development stage, China is still in the phase of research and utilization of space resources, such as exploration of Mars and the Moon, mainly focusing on discovering and utilizing space resources. Moving into commercial operations like space tourism, although there are related plans, it still requires time.”
