Congratulations to CHINA,,,,
Congratulations China, you are the best and good luck on your following process 🎉
Can anyone say, Moon Gulag?
Go China 🇨🇳 ! Love any space advancement 🚀
NASA director Bill Nelson just made NASA an international laughing stock by claiming that farside is in permanent darkness and he had no clue why Chinese want to go there. What incompetence
looks like China will also make moon there territory
I think instrad of lying aboit m8ssions to the moon and mars its time to come clear and be more accountable and disclose more dtails by all those in the space race as to what those datellites are actially inteded to acheive. The globe has seen an unprecedented shift in the weather, where more extreme wether is being witnessed across the globe. From severe heat to fpash floodings and more. Are these sattelites some how being used to manipulate the wetather and cause extreme heat in the weather by redirecting solar and lunar rays more onto earth.
Cos almost everyday for the past so many years sattelites and rockets and who knows what else had been launched from earth on a daily basis with accountability or disclosure as to what technolagies are being transported into earth by selling pipe dreams and fooling ppl abt conquering mars and tge moon. So ot high time their is accountability, tracoabipty, disclosures and transperance around this topic
So basically nukes will soon be in the moon while US politicians laundering billions to useless wars sad day America 🤦🏻
China best ever more them American
While india 🇮🇳 failed to land any on the moon
The United States and Europe, which are members of NATO, launched satellites in Ukraine and West Asia to get cheap oil and gas.
Congratulations! Great step foward of human society.
Get this! Those rockets didn’t land back down 😂 oh please China keep trying to catch them with rubber bands like you showed us🤣😭
CHINA?!?!?!? NOOOOOOO!!!!
How can they see in the far side of the moon?, According to the NASA chief, the far side of the moon is always dark. 😮 . (Nelson, the NASA head said this in front of the congressmen during a budget meeting.) 😅 😅 😅
Chang'e 6 mission will attempt to obtain the first-ever soil and rock samples from the lunar far side and return it to the Earth.
The primary phase of the mission is expected to last about 53 days.
The Chinese Lunar Exploration Program is designed to be conducted in four phases of incremental technological advancement.
The goal of the first phase is to reach lunar orbit, this was completed by Chang’e 1 in 2007.
The second phase of Chang’e 2 seeks to land and rove on the Moon, in 2010.
Chang’e 3 succeeded in landing on the moon in 2013 and Chang’e 4 in 2019.
The third phase involves Change’s 5 collecting of lunar samples and sending them to Earth in 2020.
The fourth phase consists of the development of a robotic research station near the Moon's south pole as well as to facilitate crewed lunar landings in the 2030s and possibly build a crewed outpost near the lunar south pole. China ready to launch lunar far side sample return mission
Chang’e-6 aims to achieve breakthroughs in the design and control technology of the Moon’s retrograde orbit, intelligent sampling, take-off and ascent technologies, and automatic sample-return on the far side of the moon.
Chang'e 6 is a planned robotic Chinese and Pakistani lunar exploration.
The mission will also include international scientific payloads from France, Sweden, Italy, and a Pakistani cubesat. The collaborations reflect Chinese efforts to boost its international cooperation in space exploration.
12 countries and organizations express willingness to deepen space cooperation before Chang’e-6 launch
Around 50 guests from 12 countries’ space agencies including Pakistan, France, and Italy, as well as representatives from the United Nations and the European Space Agency expressed on Friday willingness to seek cooperation with China in lunar and deep space exploration.
The Chang’e-6 mission will carry a number of international payloads to the Moon, including the European Space Agency's lunar surface ion analyzer, France's radon detection instrument, Italy's laser corner reflector, and a CubeSat from Pakistan.
The participants expressed willingness to seek new cooperation in lunar and deep space exploration with China.
China is willing to work with more countries to expand human knowledge on space, enhance the well-being of all human kind, and serve the advancement of human civilization.
The Chang'e-6 mission is tasked with collecting and returning samples from the moon's mysterious far side, the first endeavor of its kind in the history of human lunar exploration.
I am confused. Pakistani TVs are reporting that this is Pakistan moon mission.
Yes, "far side".
The dark side is the Force of Bill Nelson.
Now that China launched a ship to the moon, I won't be surprised if NASA soon comes up with a story about what it has been up to lately or about a new stunt SpaceX or some other private tech company is about to pull off in a bid to counter news of the Chinese project.🙂
Europe and America: China has excess rocket capacity, so it launches every day.😂
This moon mission by China is prelude to declaring moon as a historical integral part of China
All the CCP shills in the comments absolutely seething that 🇺🇲 landed men first on the moon 😂, repeat your conspiracies all you like but with all the probes China has sent to the moon they would have already notified the world with evidence if they saw nothing at all 6 Apollo landing sites. For the immense propoganda victory that would be for them.
"A lazy rain am I
The skies refuse to cry
Cremation takes its piece of your supply
The night is dressed like noon
A sailor spoke too soon
And China's on the dark side of the moon"
That weird Red Hot Chili Peppers song is coming true 😂
The US will have put people on the moon twice before China even did it once
And the Lord said unto him, Who hath made man's mouth? or who maketh it the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? have not I the Lord? Exodus Chapter 4 Verse 11
China people of talents are too overcapacity!
happy to see how strong china nowaday. The United States and Japan will eventually raise the red flag
US has no capability to "see" the dark side of the moon. China can with a moon satellite. Thus, China can work on the dark side of the moon unhampered by US.
