I realise that the Chinese putting a robot on the moon isn't as important as Nelson Mandela's funeral, but did anyone else see this?

Has a ground penetrating radar that can look 100m under the surface for tunnels made by volcanic action.

It's really searching for the US base that's been there since the 60s communicating with the aliens in order to keep Roswell out of the news.

If I where the Chinese I'd be looking for the US landing sites. Proving the hoax theory must be the stuff of communist wet dreams

Apparently they've just found a Victorian diving suit and a Union Jack...

Interesting, looking forward to seeing what they come up with. The moon's been neglected a bit since the 70s.

It would be funny if the rover drove to the site where the American flag was planted and a robotic arm slowly extends and pulls the flag down....

WW3 would not happen. If it didn't happen over the Hainan Island incident, it wouldn't happen over a flag.
