China 3rd Country to Land Rover on the Moon

China became the 3rd country to land a rover on the moon today. This was a soft landing which means the rover lightly set down on the moon's surface instead of crash landing or banging into it. hahahaha This lunar rover nicknamed the Jade Rabbit will spend 3 months digging dirt and collecting samples with tools that can reach 30 meters in depth. Wow, that's pretty deep. hahahaha China says this is a prelude to their landing astronauts on the moon in the near future. Japan says they will have a manned moon landing in 2017. Good luck to both. I really really hope one day, we will have a space station up there on the moon, just like in the TV series from the 80s, Space 1999. Do you remember it? It starred Barbara Bain, her hubby Martin Landau, Tony Anholt and that cute Aussie Nick Tate.
