China successfully landed a spacecraft on the moon’s surface late on Tuesday in the first mission to retrieve lunar surface samples in 40 years, said the country’s National Space Administration.
The space agency said the probe had successfully landed on the near side of the moon and sent back images.
China launched its Chang’e-5 probe which is not manned from the southern province of Hainan on November 24. The mission, named after the mythical Chinese goddess of the moon, aims to collect lunar material to help scientists learn more about the moon’s origins and the solar system more generally.

#AlJazeeraEnglish #China #Moon
China is NOT the second nation to plant flag on the surface of moon. Because the moon’s gravity is too low to maintain the atmosphere. No atmosphere, no natural wind. That is why, in real life , the China’s national flag was erected directly on the moon’s surface in a low-gravity environment without any shaking. But in movie, during the “Manned Moon Landing” mission of the United States in 51 years ago, the U.S. flag was swayed constantly by the wind to barely maintain its erection “on the moon”.
China went to the moon? FUNNIEST JOKE OF 2020
Game over Amrica
USA NASA is liar as usual. NASA is always lying to World about Moon.
China 🇨🇳 did it in reality.
Congratulations China
How is nasa wrong and china right? What did they prove that the usa didnt? Both footage looks exactly the same.
Jaja So Neil Armstrong been to the moon and didn’t bring back a souvenir?
He got pictures, pretty much it.
America will stick their dirty political nose on this
nothing but Lies from those that worship lucifer. Earth is flat and God is real and Jesus is about to Rapture his Believers. Space is science fiction
Jesus Christ’s prophecy’s regarding the end times are being fulfilled. Stay strong in the Christ Jesus🙏🏽
They can survive longer there by eating the alien there. And will contribute another covid 20
Love you from Pakistan 🇵🇰
Money is not everything, China is a menace to this world.
Possibly a Photoshop! ( By chance if it’s true then CCP can claim now the moon with some imaginary red flag dash lines , along with the long list of claims of South China Sea, Japanese island, Russian, Indian, Nepalese, Bhutanese, Myanmar, Vietnamese territories. Already it gobbled up Tibet and East Turkmenistan ) Great going CCP 👍
Well done, China! And to think we landed on the moon in 1959. Amazing.
I think you meant 1969.
So china went to the moon to collect some soil and rocks 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂!!! There up to something no good stop believeing what you hear!!
It’s really a great job! Well done!
As always china is trying to copy the Queen America. They are light years behind America and to stupid to realize it. I hate China. Funny how they are trying so hard to be like America. But they can’t help their people with all the flooding. No that’s because they are to busy trying to kill off anyone who don’t look like them. Look how long it took them just to go to the moon are they say they went to the moon they lie so much you really can’t believe nothing they say. Unless they are looking for another virus to spread around the world. I hate Chinese and china. Now they want to send Chinese to the moon. With any luck maybe they will find a black hole to step in .
Go China
china love from pakistan 🥰🥰
China is the third country to fake moonlanding. The more we are mindwarped the more special effects get cheaper
Congratulations China!
next is Philippines,,after china landing the moon,,,,,nyahaha
Love from pakistan Glad to see 🇵🇰❤🇨🇳
Are you sure? I thought the moon was flat.
Hope they didn’t infect the moon people with Covid.
Maybe they will bring back some good cheese samples.
I’m only 6 years old, and my mom lets me eat glue.
Can they also bring the trash from India’s failed mission and give it back to India ?
Lol we are sending another moon lander mission later this year…. Hopefully becoming the third country to put flag on moon
Big Love from 🇵🇰
Love you china 🇨🇳
The Chinese is outpacing America in space exploration and in the process of overtaking the Self Proclaimed Exceptional in just about all human activities except for acute selfishness.
Congrats to the Chinese people.
Got to love these cartoons.
They are getting way better then the 60s.
I prefer the Thunderbirds though.
Congratulations China , you found the Nevada desert.
Any thing
RUSSIA /
CHINA /
PAKISTAN
Do , than it’s a world threat .
Like anything else that comes out of CCP China 🇨🇳, this flag on moon is also as fake as a 4 rmb Chinese currency 💴 note…
( 4 rmb Chinese currency don’t exist )…
The moon flag planting is done at a remote desert site in East Turkestan & then it was photoshopped on a moon surface picture…
The only thing that came out of CCP China 🇨🇳 with original 100% guaranteed is CCP China 🇨🇳 Wuhan Corona Virus 🦠& that’s the real truth, so no matter how much CCP China 🇨🇳 denies or try to cover up or blame it on someone else but the whole world knows the unequivocal & undeniable truth that the CCP corona virus 🦠 manufactured/originated in Wuhan China 🇨🇳…
China lands on the moon. Will they claim ownership of the moon and build a military base on it now like they try and claim the ocean?
Project much?
Love and respect Chinese Brothers and sisters from Pakistan 🙂
So much for leave no trace
Congratulations china 🇱🇰🇨🇳
satellites. Nasa could show you the picture of existing flag on moon but it has never happened. do you know why？😀becuse Us flag could below. that is to say. US flag would have been below to other place. right？

IT IS GOOD THAT THEY DEVELOP TO DEVELOP THEIR COMMON SENSE ON THIS WORLD AS WELL.THE WHOLE WORLD SAW THE WIRD DRAMA THEY PLAYED IN A NARCISSITIC WAY .THEY THREATENED THE WHOLE WORL THAT THEY ARE GOING TO ARREST WHO TALK AGAINST CHINA,AT THAT MOMENT PEOPLE UNDERTOOD OF THE WORLD THAT THEY ARE PLSYING A VICTIM CARD IN A CHILDISH WORLD TO GET ATTENTION.I MIGHT BE VERY HAPPY TO SEE THIS VICTORY AS CHINA DID IT.BUT TODAY THEIR LEADER HAVE DESTROYED THE FAITH FROM OUR HEARTS.WE BELIEVE THAT CHINA IS A CLOSED MINDED AREA WHICH MOST PEOPLE HATE.THE CHINESE LEADERS HAVE TO CORRECT THIS VISION THAT PEOPLE HAVE SO NEGATIVELY ON THEM.

It’s amazing how we land on the moon manned in 1969 and people think it’s fake and then another country does it unmanned and no controversy.
Congratulations china from malaysia 🇲🇾❤️

Way to go!!! China haters heart rates going up and up, every time when China made progress. Haters will always hate. Can’t do anything about it. Let God be the judge!!!
I am pretty enjoy with the feeling that China hater can not do anything to stop China make new achievement.
China is in the future
This never would have happened with a Democrat in the White House. How many Chinese patents does Trump and his family now have since he was elected> Trump and his supporters seek to undermine American Democracy and Freedom, they are Communist Pig-Dogs!
Can the Chinese find the US flag on moon?
Wish you all the best China ❤️🇨🇳
From India 🇮🇳🔥
हिन्दी चीनी भाई-भाई 🇮🇳❤️🇨🇳
Two oldest civilizations can surely thrive together.
As you both prepare to go to war against each other…screw CHINA
love from CN.
Hopefully its alian dun 😂😊
There is very strong electromagnetic radiation in space, and there is a temperature difference of 150 degrees Celsius on the surface of the moon. Flags made of ordinary textiles cannot be used on the moon. Even China, which has the most advanced textile technology, was prepared one year for this special material Flag. But the US. flags “visited moon” all were made by Ordinary nylon material, $5.5 per piece. haha
Congratulations China from India
Those high tech camera footages of moon are extremely worse than the footages from my $300 POCO Phone 😂
China unleashes a pre-emptive biological strike against humanity while planting it’s coronavirus flag on the moon. The Chinese Flag used to have stars..
Congratulations China! I may be American from USA but happy to see something coming today and not “In the future” Today is the future and soon 2021 and yet still in dreaming for space travel.
Goddess nightmare moon Will not let you do this you’re unveil our home now use a pay the price
Now moon is also infected by Coronavirus.. 😂
Oh shiii……..
Fantastic
I remember when my high school days, our experiment rocket reach the moon.
Indian be like : hamari chandrayan hamari ghand mar diye.
HOLLYWOOD DIDN,T DO AS GOOD OF A JOB ON THE CHINESE LANDING AS THEY DID WITH THE AMERICAN LANDING. NO COKE BOTTLE? SINCE CHINA BOUGHT OUT HOLLYWOOD , THEIR TECHNOLOGY INCREASED GREATLY. IT,S ALL RIGHT TO PRETEND.HOLLYWOOD DOES IT ALL THE TIME.
Wishes from India .
Congratulations China
1:20 “dark side of the Moon”. What that written by an intern? There’s no dark side on the Moon.
There is dark side the side which dont face earth and receives no sunlight. Moon doesn’t spin on it self its spin is slowed over the years the side we see is where sunlight falls its always the same the other back side is dark side
congratulations china from bangladesh
Congratulations china

Extremely skilled movie makers. Alot better than most I’ve seen.
Well done by China and the outstanding ruling party of CCP for its leadership of the nation!!!
lol, fake.
Don’t let the CCP spread their virus up there too!
fake news ，china copy，india superpower No.1
I guess China are claiming they own the moon now??
And all the air between china and the moon.
60 years in visual development and 8k mini cameras, yet we still have awful imagery from this missions.
Sure they did. And I’m Batman. Maybe in 51 years they’ll have a democracy. What a childish insecure public relations stunt – I’d be embarrassed if I was them – but they’re shameless anyway.
I hope you guys find the best moon rocks there are!!!!! and please be so very careful while you are space bouncing as everyone is so very worried about this and all the problems that can arise as you are for sure on the moon!!! The world should be gratetful for super Chinese Spacemen !!!!! Yay so Super!! Yay so Super!!!!SARCASM!!!Yay so Super!!!Yay So Super!!!Yay so Super!!
