China moon rover to investigate cube-shaped 'mystery house' object
cnet ^

Posted on 12/04/2021 7:46:20 PM PST by BenLurkin

The Yutu-2 rover is on a roll. It's been exploring the far side of the moon since early 2019, as part of China's Chang'e-4 lunar lander mission. It now has its eyes set on a strange-looking cube-shaped object it spotted in the distance.

Yutu-2's view of the cube is fuzzy and far-off, so the object's true nature should become clearer as the rover gets closer. The most likely explanation is a boulder. This part of the moon is pockmarked with impact craters, which can feature quite a bit of chunky debris.

The Chang'e-4 mission represents the first surface exploration of the far side of the moon. The rover's work has helped scientists learn about what's happening with the geology under the lunar surface.

I knew some old school rocket scientists, the ones who used slide rules

I have original pretty full color pictures of Saturn, as well as the moons

I have read about Wifi in space
https://broadbandnow.com/report/internet-wifi-service-in-space/

but while we have little plastic helicopters on mars,

But No moonbase, no solar grid, and no wireless power transmission to the dark side.

But we know all about programing human dna all of a sudden, strange

So, do the ChiComs have something in lunar orbit to relay info to and from the rover?

Yes, the Queqiao relay satellite, which was launched back in May 2018, provides the communications link back to Earth.

I remember reading about it before your timeline, but regardless we have been studying the Pyramids for longer than that

We still cannot understand how they were built and/or build them today.

The idea we suddenly understand mrna really well is questionable

Agreed. Anything they tell us, is older technology. We the people are about 20 years behind what actually exists.

Don't think they'll be a threat. We don't have anything they'd want to steal.

The Chinese better hope those pixels are just a boulder.

If they aren’t the mission will end abruptly.
