But its all white (uvbleached) now. So China thinks we are surrendering the moon.The USA flag is there. It is ours.
Last time I looked it is a sphere.
Landing anywhere would seem to be same-same.
At this rate they'll be on mars by 2069.

It's not the same because the dark side of the moon is always the same side - it never faces earth, thus no radio communications can be sent back and forth. To get it to work they first had to put a comm satellite in orbit around the moon before sending the landing probe. However, to your point it certainly isn't comparable to a manned lunar landing, which we did a half-century ago.
Hell NO! Where did you get that crazy idea? We put MEN on the moon - did you not read the rest of my post?
Rthur said he thought it was no different. I was just pointing out that there is a technical difference. It really just comes down to being more of a PITA, and more steps involved, but not really that much more impressive than the near-side in the end.
Man, you sure can pee a long way in 1/6 gravity! ?
"We Chinese people have done something that the Americans have not dared try," he said, according to The New York Times.
We reary did it!
There was a funny movie about this very subject... oh and the Masons will get them first. They have a base there. Cheers, SirhrSo begins the Communist menace from the dark side of the moon....
If they survive the Moon Nazis attacking them first however...
They think the French landed ther. SirhrBut its all white (uvbleached) now. So China thinks we are surrendering the moon.![]()
The thing Is... they did something great. For humanity. This is a real scientific accomplishment. A rover and an orbiting transfer satellite. That’s good Stuff.
Shame that the little slopes had to rub our noses in it, instead of doing what they should have done... touted a leap for humankind. Achieved by some brilliant minds who happen to be Chinese.
Goes to show who the xenophobic racists on this planet really are... at least their findings will benefit everyone. Even if their press releases are retarded.
cheers,

She’s a dope.......
Stop asking for pics or @Dirty D will most likely post something about Uranus.Where are the pics of our moon base we have ??? I thought we had moved into the old nazi base.
This is a relief. I was worried that we were going to have to go all the way back to Earth for pork fried rice.
Will you still be hungry half hour later after eating it in reduced gravity?
Imagine the mess from the fortune cookie crumbs.
And there it is . Not an official Hide space thread without the Uranus reference .Stop asking for pics or @Dirty D will most likely post something about Uranus.
dik move.........Hope they hired someone else to drive their rover...........
Might be a short mission otherwise.
