What's interesting to me is their motivation. I read some stuff about their space program and they talked about mining resources on the moon. I wonder if they are the ones who'll make some science fiction stories come true, stories of people living and working on the moon? It would be expensive -- they'd have to ship up all the food, air, water and so on for the workers, but as some minerals become rare on earth, it might pay.

Smile!
An aussie commentator called the Chinese the new 'Moonlords.'
The announced plan is for a larger mobile investigator to be launched in 2017.

Landing on the moon is so 1970's.
