No method to recharge batteries. If the rendition drawing is showing solar panels; the solar panels are useless. Pure propaganda and the probe is dead in a few months. It probe supples its own lighting the probe will be dead in one month or less

the rover will be how they will communicate from the dark side

but the Chinese on the dark side, where they are not observable easily, are an existential threat to any colonization by other nations

And, one might ask, where are they getting the money? their economy is slowing, they’re cutting loans to numerous African and SA nations like there’s no tomorrow, and yet they have disposable income for rail guns and moon shots? Are they just printing money?

Ha! That looks like a Biro meat grinder on old metal film reels. Crazy man!

Um...the lander and rover get two weeks of sunlight per month.

Why would the solar panels be useless? It’s directed at the sun half of every month. It’s dark to US, not dark all the time.

[adorno]

Dark side of the moon? Must be the African side of the moon. And here we go again, with invaders looking to take advantage of the dark Moon-people. Chinese are racists, so ‘we are not alone’.

Dark side of moon receives no sunlight

[Truth29]

"Dark side of moon receives no sunlight"

Yes it does. The term dark side of the moon only refers to the side that we cannot see from the earth. It receives plenty of sunlight.

[Vermont Lt]

You should leave the planet a little more often.

What side of the moon faces the sun during a total solar eclipse? The side facing earth doesn’t change. No, this is not a trick question.

Where are all the cities built by aliens?

[no-to-illegals]

I’ll disagree. Am not about to believe the googled answer. Sorry

[no-to-illegals]

No trick answer Sorry

[Truth29]

Get out the nearest orrery and check it out yourself.

[no-to-illegals]

Okay am willing to admit my mistake

[bigbob]

Uh...are you a “Climate Scientist”?

Better pay attention in science class next time.

[no-to-illegals]

Ha Ha Ha

[Vermont Lt]

Now if you were discussing the Pink Floyd album....

[Alas Babylon!]

Mostly in California.

Sanctuary Cities...

China seems to be after the best location for colonization. Deep pole craters may contain accessible water in frozen form and offer protection from radiation.
