Excellent! I wonder if this is a Google Lunar X-Prize entry? Or not since it's not a private company?

Congratulations, China catches up to the 1960s.

@ b@man,
You got to hand it to them for bringing it up to date.

Now we finally know howLockheed came up with that designation. Not Dragon Lady, but Jade Rabbit. Who'd have thunk? :-P

Sad it takes them 50 yrs to do such after others. Yes quite an achievement, Not!!
What they need is a clean power race, not a space one before so many more Chinese die and other nations too from China's pollution.
And they should figure out how to build a jet engine which they still can't.
So many things they need to do but they get moon shots worth little but a sad little ego trip, instead of making their people's lives better.

Our International Studies professor had been a visiting university lecturer in China, where her mother had also taught at that level. She told us this:
During the war, in a class being taught during the bombing of Nanking, a girl stood up at one of the explosions. When the teacher reminded her that this was not allowed, she replied:
"I am sorry, but the bomb hit my family's home. My family have all just been killed."
And then she sat back down, and the lesson continued. An example, our professor told us, of the kind of commitment to education that they have in China.
Jokers and know-it-alls, being as they are, will make light of China's rapid progress. More mature people will not.

That's funny to laugh. How about asking US government to share their's technology with every other country on earth? Then we could leave every country concerning only their own people.

Congrats, China.
Now can you go over to Tranquility Base where Apollo 11 landed and PROVE that we actually landed, and it wasn't a hoax ?!?
Or, are the Chinese in on the hoax too ???

@ jerryd,
How many countries has achieved what the US, Russia and China did? Not UK or Australia. China's technology progress is coming on stream, even jet engines which are at a young stage. Many of their accomplishments are at basic level that are not see here on Gizmag.

We won the space race against the Soviets. It seems that some aren't even aware we're in a race with the Chinese, and that we can't afford to lose this one, either.
