It’s hard to get excited about an unmanned probe, even on the dark side of the moon. Wake me up when they send a man to the moon. Given the computer-assisted guidance systems developed since Neil Armstrong’s moon walk, this should be much easier to do today. And yet - despite the hoopla - the Chinese have yet to replicate what NASA did during the Flintstone era of computing.

In fairness, neither has NASA, at least in terms of human lunar landings.
