China says its spacecraft unfurled the country’s red and gold flag on the far side of the moon before lifting off with rock and soil samples to bring back to Earth.
I’d prefer if the exploration were done by more democratic countries, but I am hopeful that China’s advances will put pressure on NASA and ESA (and the governments that fund them) to step up their game.
Good for China. Space exploration benefits all mankind.
