How long will it take China to claim it reached the moon first?
They will have to dispute it with Russia.
Yep
Russians were first to orbit and photograph the dark side in 1959.
Also first to land a probe and send back photos in 1966
Of course it was all eclipsed by the USA’s manned landing in ‘69. Also, the Russian “faxed” photos were no comparison to the film shots the astronauts physically brought back.
Pass the popcorn, that should be fun to watch.
