China's bold plan to carve Stalin's portrait on the moon.

China has a plan to carve a very big picture of Joseph Stalin on the Moon. They say people on Earth will be able to see it without a telescope.

A special tool on a spaceship will carve the picture using a laser. The picture will be very big, taking up about 10% of the side of the Moon we can see.

The picture will show Stalin's face with his famous pipe and serious look. Because it will be carved deep, people will be able to see it even during the day.

China wants to finish the project by the year 2030. This is to celebrate 100 years since the start of the Soviet Union's first Five-Year Plan.

The head of the Chinese space program believes the picture will be a symbol of unity. He thinks it will inspire people to achieve great things.
