Nah!
Tt would have been way cool if the secret message had read:
Or “Make Mars great Again!”
I had to look at the progress of the Chinese rover. It is “parked” in orbit and will spend 3 months getting images of possible landing sites.
I guess that is one way to do it. It sounds like all of our landings (including the moon) were planned out from the very beginning. I guess this gives the Chinese some options without having our continuous satellite info from Mars. But it would also seem to have some limitations as they are already in an orbit.
For the sake of science I would like for them to succeed. But - it is China, so I hope they crash and burn. As long as that doesn’t release some weird contamination that they wanted to experiment with up there.
