  1. Except US of course. Now NASA boss must be tearing his hair out, begging Congress for more money.

  2. ​@Zd All great achievements take time and effort. China learned from scratch and after being prevented by US Congress from collaborating with NASA and also banned from ISS in 2011, it marked the turning point in their space program. It motivated them to do it all on their own. Their response was nothing short of spectacular. Space station, Mars rover and now this. And they have just started. Congress Act has backfired badly. It yielded an outcome they were trying to curb,ie China's space ambition. Just imagine if China was allowed to join the ISS, they wouldn't have built their own. Crazy isn't it?

  3. ​ @j.dunlop8295  There are a lot if sire and disappointed people here. Like you , they were praying this mission to fail. Well it went as planned. So eat your heart out. Same for NASA

  4. All thanks to the US Congress passing their Wolf Amendment Act 2011. Their intentions backfired spectacularly.

  5. What will they do with it anyway. Are they into space exploration?

  6. ​@obsidianjane4413 You know they always do. They are carrying payloads from France, Italy, Sweden, and Pakistan. The one who is not willing to share is NASA. To make sure they don't have anything to do with the Chinese, they passed the Wolf Amendment Act 2011. Which is a blessing disguise for the Chinesee space ambitions. It turbocharged their determination to go it alone. Reaping achievements like their space station and Mars rover. Now the far side of the moon.

  7. Different side of the moon. The more interesting side. Reminiscing on past achievements shows no progress since then. NASA has been trying to go back and not making any headway. Maybe they should repeal their Wolf Act and seek help from the Chinese.

  8. ​ @obsidianjane4413  I know many here are hoping they will fail. I am not sure if you are one of them. Even now they are ridiculing to cope. Pathetic and that includes your comments. How do you hide a failed mission that's been followed closely globally. Don't questions be asked by the scientific community. Use a little common sense and see how ridiculous your comments are.
