China space probe returns to Earth with rare Moon rocks | BBC News

China's Chang'e-6 lunar probe has returned to Earth with the first ever samples from the Moon's unexplored far side.

The probe landed in the Inner Mongolia desert on Tuesday, after a nearly two-month long mission that was fraught with risks.

Scientists believe samples could answer key questions about how planets are formed.

China is the only country to achieve the technically challenging feat of landing on the far side of the Moon, having done so before in 2019.

This is a symbol of China's overcapacity in space, with forced labor Xinjiang cotton products inside the equipment! Uncle Sam says, "Please give me some soil I'll take it back and study it to sanction Chinese overcapacity as well as forced labor. Uncle Sam updates the new cooperation and explains that this does not affect US-China cooperation!

South Koreans say research shows that the moon was once the territory of ancient Goryeo, so the lunar soil China dug up on it belong to South Korea. The Indians said that ISRO has planned on PPT to pull the moon back to Indian ISRO laboratories next year for in-depth study. The Americans say that China's behavior on the moon is overcapacity and NASA will impose a 10, 000% tariff on these lunar soil exported to the United States.
