 China makes historic landing on far side of the moon
==========

China's space agency announced that it successfully landed an uncrewed spacecraft on the far side of the moon. The mission, called Chang'e-6, aims to retrieve rocks and soil from the lunar surface. This is China's second mission to the far side of the moon and elevates its space power status. The landing took place in the South Pole-Aitken Basin, and the craft landed at 6:23 a.m. Beijing time. The mission involves engineering innovations, high risks, and great difficulty. China launched the Chang'e-6 probe nearly a month ago from the Wenchang Space Launch Center.
