China Takes the Lead with Chang'e 6 Bringing Back 2KG Samples from the Moon's Far Side

Reported 9 months ago

China's Chang'e 6 successfully landed in Inner Mongolia with 2 kilograms of lunar soil and rocks from the far side of the moon, marking the first global achievement of 'moon backside sampling'. This success not only signifies another advancement in China's lunar exploration program but also places Beijing ahead of Washington in the current US-China space race, making it a source of national pride. However, along with China's space mission success, there are concerns about rocket debris and toxic gases scattered around the launch site, highlighting the intense competition not only between China and the US but also involving other countries like Japan, India, and Middle Eastern nations vying for opportunities in space exploration.
