China Reveals First Moon Photo From Chang’e 1 Lunar Probe
by John Little on 26/11/2007
Behold most glorious success:
“Chinese people’s dream of flying to the moon for more than 1,000 years has started to materialize,” said Wen in a passionate speech. He hailed China as one of the few world powers capable of conducting a deep-space probe.
The premier said that the lunar probe was the third milestone in China’s space exploration, following the success of man-made satellites and manned space flights.
The success, he said, not only manifested China’s rising national strength and technical innovation capability, but also elevated the country’s international status and cemented national cohesion.
“It showcases eloquently that the Chinese people have the will, the ambition and the capability to compose more shining new chapters while ascending the science and technology summit,” he said.
I guess we can expect this probe to be recalled any day now.
