Great moon mission
The successful landing of the Cheng'e 3 probe on the moon on Saturday and the smooth separation of the Jade Rabbit lunar rover from the lander on Sunday make China the third country to own such space technology after the former Soviet Union and the United States.
Yet, the significance of such space technology goes far beyond earning the country the name of a technological powerhouse.
And it moves the country closer to greater cooperation with the space programs of other countries for the further exploration of space for the well-being of people around the world.
