China launches first probe to return samples from Moon's far side | AFP

A rocket carrying the Chang'e-6 lunar probe blasts off from the Wenchang Space Launch Center in southern China's Hainan province. The Chang'e-6 seeks to collect samples from the far side of the Moon, a world first as Beijing pushes ahead with an ambitious programme that aims to send a crewed lunar mission by 2030.

What! a non-bashing China video! hey AFP news you forgot to add "but at what cost?' in the title of the video.

[@georgelan9985]

It carried one French scientific instrument, the AFP can't blame themselves.😂

[@BSnicks]

No need to. Everyone knows it was at the cost of Uncle Sam's collapse!

[@7zigo267]

HAHAHA

[@sidneyhu6135]

True

[@DorJinTan]

Rain,hail or shine, d Chinese WILL launch!

[@learnsun3376]

In one country, the weather was a little windy and the launch was postponed. I’m talking about the takeaway I ordered at home.

The Chang'e-6 mission plans to go to the South Pole-Aitken Basin on the far side of the moon to conduct morphological exploration and geological background surveys, and to discover and collect lunar samples from different regions and ages. In order to enhance international cooperation, the Chang'e-6 mission carried payloads and satellite projects from four countries, including a French radon gas detector, an ESA negative ion detector, an Italian laser corner reflector, and a Pakistani cubesat.

Great achievements by China

NASA's administrator Bill Nelson said the dark side of the moon is always in the dark, no sunshine at all, right? :)

[@BSnicks]

Bill Nelson looks like Viktor in the movie Underground. Everything is dark for him!

There is nothing new under the sun.It’s hard to imagine that he is a scientist.

This is a fat badass rocket, love it

[@ThomasAnderson-lv4jh]

The purpose of China's lunar exploration project is to find a person named Chang'e who has not filed her taxes for years.

这太遥远了，能上月球就不错了

[@BSnicks]

We will never be able to colonize anything outside this solar system with these primitive rockets. We need to invent anti-gravity propulsion first. Then we can take it from there.
