Japan's space agency has proposed to a government panel a plan to send Japanese astronauts to the moon after 2025.
The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency or JAXA presented the idea to the science ministry's panel on Wednesday. The panel is tasked with discussing the direction of the country's space exploration.
JAXA says it will not develop a manned spacecraft on its own that requires huge development costs.
