China to launch moon rover mission to scout out locations for a lunar base that will

[WCH]

China will tomorrow become the first country in almost 40 years to soft-land a probe on the moon, in a huge step forward for its ambitious space programme.

The nation will become the third in history to launch a lunar probe when the device, named 'Jade Rabbit' after a Chinese folklore character, launches at 5.30pm on Sunday evening, which is 1.30am local time.

The mission forms part of a plan in which China hopes to build a permanent lunar base in order to launch future missions to Mars within the next 15 years.

Good for them. I wish them much success. Maybe if they find something, Russia will come up with some better rockets and we can hitch a ride back there again.

They are going up there for one reason; to take down our flag.

Yes I'm sure they'll spend billions to do that.

Phooey, I only got one bite on that. Expected many more from lobbies. The real reason they are going there is to start building slave camps for American conservatives when they overrun us in human wave attacks like they did in Korea. They want to reprogram our remotes so we can't watch Fox.
