The US must be complaining about China's overcapacity of moon rovers

[zebraz]

WSJ has to have a China hating leaning in every article. Can’t we just celebrate an achievement for humankind.

[JIMMY-nzld]

Great achievements by China 👍🇨🇳well done.

[tnt_pkk]

One thing America has a greatest achievement is the propaganda against humanity innovation

[wesherity]

China rover on the moon—— ambition
America rover on the moon——big progress for human beings.

[southisland]

One small step for China but a big headache for America

[qingshanyipian]

There are 4 other countries and unions working along with China on this mission. China will help to send experimental instruments from France, Italy, Pakistan and the European Union on this mission.

Please show what Bill Nelson said about the far side of the moon, that's truly mind boggling.

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.

"US for peaceful purposes"😅🤣🤣🤡🤡

NASA Administrator: "The stupid Chinese went to the back of the moon, where it was pitch black and there was nothing."
Reporter: “So do you have any innovative space programs?”
NASA Administrator: “We will land on the sun!!”
Reporter: "Are you crazy? Aren't you afraid of being burned to death?"
NASA Administrator: “We’re not fools, we’re going to land at night.”

[suryatobing]

NASA administrator looks so jealous ..

[yoyohighness]

I was a 10 yr subscriber of WSJ and I used to regard it as the primary source for news and world's finance update. After seeing its totally bias reporting for 3 years particularly on US relation to China and to the world, I unsubscribed it last yr as I believe its a waste of my money and time.

[gfan]

Remembering what the NASA top guy told the congress that the back side of the moon is always dark? 😂😂😂

[eat.melon.qunzhong]

NASA: the far side of the moon is always dark.
lol

[shawnliu]

It must be an overcapacity complaint from the America who claimed to represent the space.😢

[davidt]

WSJ: China copied US space texhnology
ROW: No way. They didn't do it in a Hollywood studio 😂😜

[kwang]

Bill Nelson needs to retire, please do not play politics in NASA…
