Brilliant move to drop a remote camera to photograph the rover itself.

American photos “just” show Mars itself, without the self aggrandizement.

Will it be going anywhere near where Neil Armstrong put the American Flag in 1969?

Dumb congress-critters want to know.

I dislike the Chicoms as much as anybody, but credit where due: They soft-landed a freakin' spacecraft on freakin' Mars, and their rover survived enough to place a camera and take a selfie. It's a considerable accomplishment, and if they want to brag a little, so what? It doesn't take anything away from us. A nice picture is just that... a nice picture.

Let's see what their scientific payloads can do. That's what counts.
