Next year China will attempt to land an exploratory craft on the moon for the first time, state media reported, in the latest project in its ambitious space programme.
China’s (PICTURE HERE) third lunar probe will blast off in the second half of 2013, the state Xinhua news agency reported late on Monday. Other reports said it would land and
transmit back a survey of the moon’s surface.
If successful, the landing would be China’s first on the lunar surface and mark a new milestone in its space development. It is part of a project to orbit, land on and return from the moon, Xinhua said. China said in its last white paper on space it was working towards landing a man on the moon, although it has not given a time frame.
Beijing sees its multi-billion-dollar space programme as a symbol of its rising global stature, growing technical expertise, and the Communist Party’s success in turning around the fortunes of the once poverty-stricken nation.
It kicked off in 1999 with the launch of the unmanned Shenzhou-1.
Two years later, Shenzhou-2 lifted off carrying small animals, and in 2003,
China sent its first man into space. Since then, it has completed a spacewalk in 2008 and an unmanned docking between a module and rocket last year.
Most recently, a 13-day voyage of the Shenzhou-9 spacecraft became China’s
longest-ever space mission

The only thing hollow is the heads of most of these BIN contributors.
Go china good luck,all us humans need to began to work together to advance all humans after all we are all brothers living on this big blue ball,just like president reagan said if we were confronted by an alien force we would have to come together as one the way it should be
What Communist party in China? The fact that they have so many billionaires there proves that true Communism never existed, nor in the former Soviet Union. The terms Communism and capitaism were just bankster terms to divide the masses and they do the same thing with the political parties.
The “establishment” concur that the moon might be hollow as the rock samples collected from the various alledged moon landings date older than they would have expected to find on the surface. Therefore one remedy is they came from the centre of the moon and it is “hollow” as a consequence. The other explaination outlined in the Vedic texts is rather less palatable. According to transcripts c.103,000 years ago this planet had three moons and one was destroyed in an inter galactic war. Of course that can’t be true as man was “created in the image of” God and we are the limit of divine intelligence in manifest form which, according to our illiustrious scientists was even more limited to a “caveman” existence c.103,000 years ago.
If China “discovers” anything to contradict illustrious science, would they dare report it? Nope. Nothing to see here.
