(OP) User ID: 63036191 United States 11/01/2014 07:19 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | China's latest moon mission, which some people are calling Chang'e 5 T1, returned to Earth at around 6 p.m. EDT Friday (6 a.m. Saturday local Chinese time), ending an eight-day unmanned flight designed to test out technology for a future lunar sample-return project. Chang'e 5 T1 launched on Oct. 23 atop a Long March 3C rocket, then completed a flyby of the moon before swinging back toward home. The mission sent a test capsule barreling into Earth's atmosphere Friday at 25,000 mph (40,000 km/h); the capsule survived the harrowing trip intact and touched down as planned in north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, the state-run Xinhua news agency reported.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 64742337 Romania 11/01/2014 05:28 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | There's no footage shown, the only photo is of the moon as it's seen with a telescope from earth! It was launched on October 24 and came back after 7 days. Meanwhile it took twice this time for the Chinese 'Jade Rabbit', Chang'e 3, to reach moon last December and we didn't see any footage from the moon so far! People should really start asking questions already. This thingy has landed on the Moon like 5 months ago and we still don't have a single HD image. Seriously? All eyes on Ukraine and Boko Haram, but what about the freakin Moon? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 58234451 So do you really believe such BS? |
