Hopefully the mission succeeds, it will enable the next steps of the chinese program and the competition will force american and european programs to step it up a notch too.

This is in fact a dry run for Chen 6. Chen 6 is a capital mission in the Chinese space program, it will survey the place where the Chinese moon station will be, checking for water and other data.

Awesome - I can't wait to see what kind of liveleaks disasters we get from a Chinese moon station.

sadly this - i fully expect to see nasa spend the next four years in another round of congressional hearings as it's forced to (yet again) justify every fucking mission in the program and answer a bunch of chucklefuck questions like "how does this mission advance the cause of black equity?" or "what is nasa doing to reach out to the dozens of trans scientists?"

You realize NASA has landed 8 probes on mars, captured an asteroid sample, puts probes into orbits around gas giants, pays 80% of the cost of iss and orbited most of the tonnage, operates Hubble, and on and on?

> in fact a dry run for Chen 6
I'm fairly sure if this one fucks up they are going to use 6 to retry this mission, otherwise it go on with the planned goals. Think it will be tough for them to pull this off, they have four different modules and a half-tested skip maneuver to get back to Earth. Is not an easy feat for all these parts to not have a failure somewhere.

Not a fan of how tight lipped China is about everything unless it already happened and it had succeeded.

Somebody decoded the telemetry data in order to see footage of the Chang'e 5 probe flying through space. Here's footage of one of the solar panels.

Maybe if the 'West' (United States) let them collaborate on global outreach projects like the ISS and Artemis, then they wouldn't be in direct competition.

China doesn't need to join a three-legged race. They need to consolidate the knowledge they've stolen and start creating new stuff for themselves. Good luck to them.

There is no division between civil and military for China. So they're not like NASA but rather like air force launches mired with some secrecy.

There IS a timeline for this mission. Everyone interested in this launch already knows about the schedule. It's just that there isn't as much interest in this in Anglo-centric nations to give a damn about overcoming the language barrier in the information everyone has in China.

Everybody knows the timeline. We just don't see the livestreaming because they don't show it in case there's a failure. So you only see what happens 30 minutes after when it succeeded.

Like Tianwen-1. The rocket launched, but the livestream but off. So all we had to see were cellphone clips taken by people in Hainan. Then 30 minutes later, the official video of the launch was released.

The stuff I mentioned was contemporary. Lunar probes are 1960s tech for the west. China and India are playing in the sandbox. Russia is shedding Soviet era capabilities and the euros don't have any money. NASA has no peers.

When ISS was being built China was still developing its Soyuz based Shenzou and had almost nothing in the way of original capabilities and know how to bring to the ISS project. As of know they have only flown Shenzou with crew seven times and have only had two short lived single can space stations, probably based on Russian TKS modules. They are total noobs at space.
