| Chinese probe crashes into moon
A Chinese lunar probe has crashed into the moon in what Beijing has called a controlled collision.
The Chang'e 1 lunar satellite hit the moon's surface at 1613 local time (0813 GMT) at the end of a 16-month moon-mapping mission.
China launched the spacecraft in late October 2007 on a mission to survey the entire surface of the moon.
China's ever-more ambitious space programme includes plans for a space station and landing a man on the moon.
Future missions
Launched into space on one of China's Long March 3A rockets, the probe mapped the moon's surface using stereo radar.
Chang'e 1 was under the remote control of two stations in Qingda, eastern China, and Kashgar in the north-west of the country, the Xinhua news agency said.
China became only the third nation - after the Soviet Union and the US - to put a manned spacecraft in orbit in 2003.
State media said on Sunday China would launch a space module next year and carry out the country's first space docking.
"The module, called Tiangong-1, will provide a "safe room" for Chinese astronauts to live and conduct scientific research in zero gravity," Chinese state media said.
"Weighing about 8.5 tonnes, Tiangong-1 is able to perform a long-term unattended operation, which will be an essential step toward building a space station," it added. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJPaJ0bTa8Y |

LOL the man who volunteers for the lunar landing mission would have to be very brave. I have more faith in NASA of the 60s than China of today.

To be fair, the intended mission was to take pictures of the moon and then crash into the Moon.... so they didn't make that up haha.

Ezekiel 25:17. The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you. | |

Chang'e I, was very successful. It was the most successful lunar exploration project among all nations. The final destiny of the probe was to crash into the moon. This was difficult to do but the Chinese scientist have successfully done it after 487 days of data collection. The exploration sent back the most intensive detailed images up to date. This marks the completion of the first part, two more stages are to come. Then China will send an astronaut to the moon for landing before 2025.

the pathfinder had to do crash landing, I am sure landing the moon isn't easy for the chinese. Now it gets me thinking how the heck US managed to land on the moon safely?
