- In May, China launched a robotic lunar sample return mission called Chang'e-6. If these samples are returned successfully, this will be the first sample return mission from the moon's far side. The mission has sent back stunning photos from the moon's South Pole-Aitken basin. Here's what you need to know about this groundbreaking mission, including why the moon looks brown in the Chang'e-6 photos.

Realizing she’s the only non-Chinese person who can correctly pronounce “Chang’E” mission or “Queqiao” relay satellite. Good work!
To make the Americans pronounce clearly why change to CHANG ERR and CHO-WHERE CIAO instead?
@@kawings It would be a mess if every country had its own transcription of Chinese characters based on its own language. So it is simpler to follow the official Chinese transcription which is called pinyin. It is not a big effort to learn the few tricks to pronounce it correctly and big thumb up for her !
@pechanyo
Agreed!
@@kawingsWhy should China do this to suit others?
She did a really exciting presentation! Most inspiring.
The relay satellite is called "鵲橋 (Queqiao)," which translates to "Magpie Bridge" in English. 🐦 It refers to a popular legend in Chinese folklore, also known as "The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl" 🌟. Therefore, "鵲橋 (Queqiao)" symbolizes the bridge formed by the magpies, enabling the reunion of the cowherd and the weaver girl once a year. 💕 It has become a symbol of love, longing, and the pursuit of true love in Chinese culture. ❤
Thanks for that! I love to hear the details.
@@trekpac2 Legend has it that every year on the seventh day of the seventh month of July, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl will meet at the Magpie Bridge in the sky. This day is also designated as Valentine's Day in China
If US is the first country completed the mapping of Moon, it would claim US has ownership of the Moon. It's good that China has done the map first!
China's goddess was first on the moon.
Oh here we go with maps again 🤦 Draw a bunch of red dashes around it yet??? Let us know now, not 80 years from now. Get a grip… 😂

Greetings, what China is demonstrating is that it does not depend on biased and egemonic policies on the part of the US. They prove it with facts.
SpaceX is doing the same as China - doing it the way they want.
"嫦娥" (Chang'e) refers to a prominent figure in Chinese mythology and folklore, known as the Moon Goddess in Chinese culture. 🌙
Chang'e is often depicted as a graceful and ethereal figure, associated with the moon, beauty, and femininity. She symbolizes love, sacrifice, and transcendence in Chinese culture. 💖 The Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the Moon Festival, is celebrated in her honor and to commemorate her connection to the moon. 🥮 During this festival, people gather to appreciate the moon's beauty, make offerings, and enjoy mooncakes. 🌕
Beautiful story, I love how this achievement is allowing us to learn about this millennial culture
Mid-Autum festival is on the exact date the moon is fullest for the entire calendar year. China is the only surviving ancient farming society; the entire culture has strong connection with the moon. The farming calendar was base on the phases of the moon which affects the climate that determined the time of the year to sow the seeds and when to harvest...etc
When I was little, during the Mid Autumn festival (Moon Cake Festival or 中秋节） our family had boxes of moon cake lined up on the front lawn and we prayed to our 'big sister Chang E" (嫦娥姐姐） who resides on the moon, hoping that she can get to taste our delicious moon cakes as well
@@augusto3113 Chang'e is very beautiful, but the myth is not about beauty, for some reason she stole her husband's fairy medicine to go to the moon, different versions have different reasons, some good and some bad

Hats off to the Chinese scientists and engineers!
there is something called "reciprocity". I am astonished that Americans dare to ask for collaboration from China after they have rejected China demands to access International Space Station. NASA should have a decent behavior .
It is not a NASA decision, it's the paranoid shitehawks in government that are running scared of China.
The US has no reflection and no shame. The US government accuses China of Uyghur genocide in Xinjiang without any evidence while supporting a genocide in Gaza and denying it.
Corrupt dirty US politicians always have double standard!
Don’t you know the Yankees do not have the English word - pathetic. They continue to have the mindset of being too arrogance but fearful of losing its hegemonic power.
@@markc6140 A hegemonic power that they have already lost anyway... But that a side...
the US talking about "Human Rights" violations means nothing now.
Iraqis, Syrians, Libyans, and many more have all wanted to say hello to us.

It’s fine if their allies do it, in fact they will even help out on that human rights violation.
It never did

Got to give the Chinese credit for their recent successes, especially for the landing without tipping over part!😄👍👍
Ah, but what was the difference in costs? Intuitive Machines was a relatively inexpensive - for space - effort. I’m not familiar enough with the specifications of the Japanese probe to know how much they invested. Because of the sample return I’d assume that the Chinese Space Agency would have spend a lot on this mission, and because of that they probably used a lot more simulation and engineering time.
@@waynesworldofsci-tech Yeah, they can pretty much spend as much as they want.
@@ARWest-bp4yb
More like HAVE to spend like that. They needed a far higher degree of system reliability.
The addition of sample return made it way more complex. I can’t tell you how much, military tech is more my speed.
@@waynesworldofsci-techA silly thing to be proud of. You can save half the cost but getting nothing in return still means the ROI is zero. It's just a huge sum of money clean down the drain.
@@PChan-yt4uf
Maybe part of the test was to see how well costs could be kept down?
Landing on the Moon is hard. Landing, gathering samples, taking off, and returning back home is way harder.
AMAZING CHINA...... THE WORLD SUPER POWER COUNTRY
发展中国家😅
Never underestimate China's prowess ❤❤❤ the Chinese Aerospace program is the creation of Qian Xuesen. ( Tsien Hsue-Shen ), he's considered as the father of the Chinese Aerospace Program...
He was also one of the co-founders of the J P L. ( Jet Propulsion Laboratory )
He was an Aerospace engineer, and a cyberneticist, and established engineering cybernetics, above all he was a humble human. ❤❤❤ R I P ❤❤❤.... For his significant contribution to America, he was deported... Where he later became the father of China's Aerospace Program.....
Great loss for America...
Great gain for the motherland..
Not long ago, when China built her own Space Station, and was choosing a group of scientists, engineers, etc., from different walks of life to participate in her Space Station, Bill Nelson had the audacity to say that he needed to inspect China's Space Station, and make sure it was safe for the Western scientists to board it...What a joke ! What an insult to the Chinese Aerospace team...
Bill Nelson, ! f you're watching China's progress... Eat your heart out... Your arrogance is not welcomed .....
Sorry, but I had to vent that...
Hi CCP propaganda
@@timbro1
Have you ever studied the hustorical facts on the creation of the J P L ?
Please don't be naive...
And yes, I'm an American, and yes, I've studied history
Knowledge is power
I think that China/Russia will leave the US in the dust in its space program in the next 5 years, just like it is doing in many other areas.
America would be best to look for ways to work together on many things.
And by the way, yes, I'm a bot living in a digital apartment in Toronto!
@@timbro1SB😂
He was not deported from the United States. He was helped by China to return to his country. The US won't allow him to return.
What is your opinion on the statement made by Bill Nelson, the top executive of NASA, during his congressional address: "The far side of the moon is always dark, and I don't understand why the Chinese are exploring it?" LOL 😂
Bill Nelson's comments have sent shockwaves through the scientific community and space enthusiasts globally, shedding light on the possible reasons behind NASA's underwhelming performance in recent decades. With budget cuts and a substantial exodus of experienced experts and engineers, NASA has transitioned from being a proficient agency to one that lacks the necessary space knowledge at its highest leadership levels.
It is the same problem at NASA, Intel and Boeing when decisions are made by incompetent people.
The Americans also complained that the systems in the Chinese space station are in Chinese, not English. How arrogant are they.🤣🤣🤣
Education system failure. I am ashamed of getting a PhD from universities that graduated such talent
he didn't say he don't understand, he said he has "no idea", basically he is a paper pusher who doesn't know much about the science.
what a deranged lunatic. He is supposed to be the best that nasa has to often. Does he also think the moon is made of mostly gas?
you are the only non-Chinese youtuber who pronounce Chang'e right I have watched.
The Wolf Amendment will be recorded in the history book as the law that gave the independence to the China space exploration. 🎉
Somewhat like expansion of Nato around Russia has finally led to Russia waking up and completely taking back its own sovereignty, plus becoming BF with China. I love it.
A mini version of the notorious "Chinese Exclusion Act".
@@catinbootsnow4267 The US does have something similar- I think in Texas and other States there are Laws disallowing specifically the Chinese national to buy/own properties or lands.
Thank you for using the correct description of “the far side”
Art Toy, Lawrence, Michigan, USA.
But someone said the back side of the moon is always dark. Therefore NASA have no interest to go there.😂😂😂
lovely work! I always love to hear these space updates from you.
what human rights violation? like the genocide in Gaza?
😂😂
no matter near side or far side, all the ground of the moon in these pictures from Chang'e looked the same.
And they are all different from Apollo's cement powder ground.
Wolfe : China violated human rights on the MOON 🌙
Biden: yes!... I am the first president on the Moon, and I tripped while boarding the return-lunar capsule
America must be thinking *China, you violate human rights on the moon while we do it in earth.
Wolf is already gone. he left office in 2015.
Thanks for your blog. Keep up your good job
I really hope US scientists don't get a speck of chinese lunar dust from this last mission, if they want to study that dust just make them relinquish US citizenship
You're the best. I I love your presentation style.
What "human rights abuse" could the US gov't be talking about?
such as human rights abuse in Gaza.
China cause US butthurt. China shouldn't abuse US butthole.
always like finding out what's going on on the moon here
You reap what you sowed. When they enacted the Wolf Amendment back then, they had not thought that China's space program would be so advanced to date.
Finally I found a western people that can pronounce Chang'e close enough. Thank you for the effort!😀😀😀
Lovely to hear the correct Chinese pronunciation. Great presentation.
Right. Now you wanna access to the sample.
Thanks
Great package of data here
Thanks for the update!
Good reporting!
Your sweater looks comfy 😊
European-Chinese lunar exploration partnership is over.
Under pressure from the US, ESA has decided to stay out of the Chinese-led International Lunar Research Station (ILRS).
So no ESA-China partnership for Chang'e-7 and Chang'e-8 in the future.
China will continue alone without the burdensome ESA. All praise for China.
As a European, I say Europe needs to stop being US' biatch.
Who cares if ESA stays in or out! Just name one technology that CNSA desperately needs from ESA, anyone?
Thank you for the excellent report.
Great information. Thank you.
Great report!
Cheers for this vid 👍👍👍
NASA being a little bltch is so funny 😂😂😂
Thx for sharing
Well done. Best wishes.
Really interesting stuff

Everybod bielive in China. Everybod respect China. China is truthly The moon's Explorer
Great video! Thanks for talking about how communications to earth work, I was wondering about that. Is it a live link? or does the satellite have reach a more appropriate location?
Wikipedia page for Queqiao-1 has some graphics, but it's in "a halo orbit around L₂" so it can always see the earth and (part of) the far side. It does need a fair amount of fuel to *stay* there, but it's in year 6 of a 5 year mission plan, so it was pretty well equipped.
Do you have a new spacenews link, the one in your description seems to be broken
Why does that law exist saying that we are prohibited from sharing anything with China with regards to space exploration? Was this something to do with a trade agreement that went bad or is there some other reason why we should be prohibited from cooperating with china? I mean they seem like good people and clearly they are very intelligent and highly technical.
The Amricans haven't heard the news on that.
Unfortunately, the US gov't isn't as intelligent and clairvoyant as you are.
usa is afraid that China will surpass them
Because the US is trying to do anything it can to suppress China.
Stop making too much noise, otherwise American and the West will be making this another item of overcapacity of Moon landing 😂😂😂😂
NASA can barely get a capsule to the space station.
U$ have aircraft and doors falling out of the sky for christ sake, U$ is so yesterday!
Built by Boeing maybe?!?
America can send 2 astronauts and hundred kilograms of lunar sample in 1969...
But they can't do it any longer, technology gone 😂😂😂 yeah right
They said all the records of Apollo mission were destroyed.😂
Very good presentation and summary of the mission. Well done. I've subscribed to your channel😊
Just not about as one one think having corporate experience with countries could and does great insights but what one do with it
Then have to correct the back stab later if at all .
China successfully achieves its objectives, contrasting with the United States' reliance on theatrical tactics, which lack sincerity. Consequently, China's inability to find evidence of past American moon landings highlights this disparity.
Chang'e 2 claims to have verified the Apollo sites and at least one rover. Chandrayaan 1 and 2 (India) also confirm Apollo sites. Selene (Japan) also confirms Apollo sites. Chandrayaan-2 has the best independent images. Then there' NASA's own LRO images, of course.
@@MattNolanCustom These Chinese wumao expect everyone to respect their space accomplishments, while they disparage the accomplishments of others. Typical and pathetic.
touch down on 24th of June in the Inner Mongolia region.
lol
Isn't the Apollo astronauts brought back over 200 kg of samples from the moon, why do they care the 2 kg sample from Chang'e-6?
Because they never been to far side of the moon
Be pragmatic and realistic, apply the wisdom of the ancients and the art of war, be neither arrogant nor arrogant, and be down-to-earth to complete the set tasks step by step.
In b4 China faked moon landing conspiracy theories 😄
Thank you for this episode! I am fascinated by the China space program. Ty for the links. 🖖
China is a great and civilized country, and its lunar exploration project will benefit mankind!
Gordon Chang Er must be so proud of his name! Since the only moon he can land on is when his pants are at his ankles getting a doctor's probe for rocks.
That's hilarious, well he doesn't share the same name, it's different in Chinese character. Chang E is a beautiful name of the Moon Goddess in Chinese fairytale story.
China political system does make corrections, look into its Whole Process Democracy system.
Add Extra Applesauce.
tips: its not chan-ge ,its chang-e same as chan-e

NASA was worong. Madeira in China is bether than she imagined
I was thinking why can't the return pod go to the Chinese space station to be brought back when there's a hand over.
Of course they can but why do that. Waste of time and resources.😅
@aungaisum8654 because they have to transfer it anyway.
Which worked really well. But they can do experiments on the space station and send the rest back to earth. Change the container and send it back to the moon for more samples.
二次登月😅
China is standing by...literally. Suits on.
For an apollo-style return, the problem would be needing to carry a bunch of extra fuel to slow down enough to match orbits (vs. using the atmosphere for that.) Chang'e is on a much slower return trajectory, though, so perhaps we could see that in the future?
Sorry, I burst into laugh at 7:10
In 1969, NASA took Armstrong and co to and from the moon only required 8 days. China's Chang-e 6 took 2 months to arrive there and 22 days to return. Does it mean the 1969 US's technology was more Advance.?????.
Hollywood technology is unparalleled
No, reaching the far side of the moon is a slightly bit more complicated because you need transmission from there. That means the orbiter needs a very different, more elongated path.
Is it such a big deal? NASA dismissed it as a "gimmick" and US could have done it with eyes shut.😂😂😂
NASA is largely incompetent now. Filled with politicians and heavy reliance on Boeing.
😎😎
China is like Thanos, alone can beat the hell out the american's avengers team(US+allies).
The great thing about China doing so much is we might get another space race and some progress
There is no competition
The Chinese will not participate in such a stupid competition
The Chinese have their own timetable and schedule, they will do every step on time, if the conditions are not ripe, they will not blindly advance their plans
Americans can compete with aliens, or with the bragging king Indians.
U$ is not into any race nor competition, U$ is what is known in the sports world as "Tonya Harding", she can't win, so her only strategy is to stop others!
No human beings have landed on the moon yet, but there will be before the year 2030.

But usa had land in the moon 50 years ago 😂😂😂

Well done India! Congrats.
China great big space power. Moon mission space station space men. Very science progress.
I look forward to seeing SpaceX culture overtake not only Chinese space accomplishments, but rid itself of NASA's political restraints, and that of the FAA as well. Having the FAA no longer require prohibitive incident reports after each test launch is the first step in that direction.
The only way for SpaceX to rid from NASA is that Musk would take all his companies to South Africa
a congress critter Named Wolf you say? Sounds like a wolf in sheep's clothing! As we are the ones being hamstrung.
The reason these Chinese landings don't get much attentions is that they are using the exact method used by Apollo. If they used a different more innovative method, they would finally get the respect they are looking for.
I don’t think they are using the “Hollywood technology” to land on a real moon
@@user-wn6fe1vd6o No, they're using old Russian technology.
Something smelly here. Time to move on!
