China might one day explore other planets, Sun Jiadong, chief designer of Chang'e-l, China's first lunar probe, told China Economic Weekly.
Sun said the launch of Chang'e 1 was the beginning of China's deep space exploration, and that the developing economy and space technology will pave the way for future study and a possible exploration beyond the moon.
"Some developed countries are more advanced in this aspect, such as the US, which has explored all planets, asteroids and comets in our solar system," Sun said.
Sure they will. Someday... on a Floyd Express Warpship
They could start by landing in Washington, D.C.
Yes, the slight degree of separation between 'all' and 'none'.

The snowboarding will be required to get you to and from work. And unfortuantely, your Chinese boss will demand you retun to work before you get more than one chop stick down the hatch. Can’t have the slaves taking too much time away from work.
Heavily impoverished Americans, since they decided that navel contemplation and social issues were more important the manned space flight, work cheap and therefore expendable, you know.
The first meal eaten on another planet (if you view our earth/moon system as a double planet) was the Lord’s Supper. Before leaving the LEM, the first two astronauts shared the consecrated elements.
