  1. Sure. The easier part of the moon to land. Not the far side. No man has landed there yet.

  2. Yes. But not on the far side. They did it on the near side which is much easier to do. China chose the far side since NASA has not gone there before. Their first mission, Chang'e 4 landed a rover there in 2019 to gather data. While for Chang'e 5 mission collected moon samples from the near side. Now the Chang'e 6 mission is back to the far side to collect samples.

  3. China Mars mission is exceptional. They did it all in one go, on their first attempt. Their spacecraft completed the orbiting, landing and rovering at one go, in their very first attempt. Something NASA took decades to achieve. So it's a big deal, even if the rover stopped functioning after 358 days on Mars surface.

  5. They haven't been to the far side. There's a lot more of the moon to explore.

  9. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. Just check all the rocks in your backyard and see if they are the same. Mine has granite, sandstone, limestone, quartz, volcanic, basalt.

  10. So why don't they? Their Artemis moon mission has been delayed by technical issues.
