China landed an unmanned spacecraft on the moon on Saturday, state media reported, in the first such "soft-landing" since 1976, joining the United States and the former Soviet Union in managing to accomplish such a feat.
The Chang'e 3, a probe named after a lunar goddess in traditional Chinese mythology, is carrying the solar-powered Yutu, or Jade Rabbit buggy, which will dig and conduct geological surveys.

Made possible by technology given to them by the Clinton Administration and the European Union. They also plan a manned space station by 2020. Looks like the ChiComs are making their move. They are bulking up their military and are acting aggressively toward our ships and aircraft. They’ve always been good at biding their time and waiting until their opponents have weak and inexperienced leadership.
“Made possible by technology given to them by the Clinton Administration “
He might have approved the technology export but our fellow Americans sold us out by actually providing the information. Clinton didn’t take then carry that information himself, our fellow Americans did.
it`s not made of cheese,
it`s made of Moon Cake.
I’ve always contended that China’s entry into its manned space program was just so it could deliver Chinese food to the space station.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I wonder how Moo Goo Guy Pan tastes in a vacuum?Or maybe it will produce its own atmosphere? LOL.
Awaiting their glorious results that no one has ever known of before.
Courtesy of Bill Clinton, who sold Top Secret missile and rocket and guidance intelligence to the ChiComs for campaign contributions.
Democrats are traitors.
about 2 hours after its eaten?
Then I am not worth salt.
I love what NASA was, I love the idea/actual space travel, the inventions that came out of the space program, the scientific advances.
Now if the private sector can take up the mantel, I would be really happy
obama has turned NASA into a funnel of money to islamics.
The chicoms claim this thing has a rock drill capable of drilling a 90 foot hole. That would be pretty impressive if true but I didn’t see any way in the pics they showed that the dune buggy could actually hold 90 feet of rod. But they claim they are drilling for water. So keep your eye on the moon. If they hit Artesian water we can watch it blow the buggy back in orbit thru the 1/6 th gravity.
Well you can thank Bill Clinton and Bernard Schwartz of Loral Space for this achievement as well
Oh, that’s right. Clinton sold China tech, forgot that.
Thanks for the remind.
Any word on if the rover has deployed yet?
It seems a lot of people have forgotten or never knew of this scandal. Good old Slick Willie - jumpstarted the Chicom's Skynet efforts after Mao killed all of their "intellectuals". Now we hand out student and H1B visas like Obama Phones at a DNC rally.
