BEIJING, July 21 (Xinhua) -- There are no current plans for exploiting mineral resources on the Moon as it's not cost-efficient, said a leading Chinese lunar exploration scientist here on Friday.

    The Moon, a priority goal for deep space exploration, has some unique resources that humans are eager to have, said Ouyang Ziyuan, member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

    Exploring and utilizing lunar resources will help support the sustained development of the human society. Enditem
