How many of you are excited that a moon landing is being done for the first time ever? 😉

[arjunraj]

Go China. People will be calling its fake even if you land. Don't mind them. Regards from India.

[alexvicaire]

Why? Are they interested in helium mining?

[oberonpanopticon]

Now, if they can do this with the falcon heav- I mean, the long march 10, then why do they need the starsh- I mean long march 9?

[LumpiaOperator]

Yeah but did they save the farmers at Montara Luna? I did.

[davidhepburn]

That's all they can do(CGI)T minus 52 years!!!

[PamdaDev]

ok, look.
I'm super excited for the mission.
i'm super excited for everything space related regardless of country.
Well.... maybe not so much about all the different satellite constellations/swarms people are all starting to build. That might backfire a bit

BUT... anyway
My point is
Come on, China
You are sending people to the moon, you could have invested a bit more in the animations!!

And yes..
all of that just to complain a bit about the CGI quality

[ryans]

Dictator PANDAs imperialism expansion from its neighborhood to the space!!

[shanemeyer]

China has come a long way and I could easily see them beating the US back to the moon

[skinnybub]

Does China consult or cooperate with Nasa at all?

[rustybones]

The Chinese have a different slant on things

[wattsmichaele]

Maybe this time it will actually happen:)

[Danielx]

[Danielx]
