Scientists share joy of working on lunar probe

For Wang Pengji, the moon is more than a celestial body he often stared at in the past. Today, he now has something on the silver sphere.

"Each time I look at the moon, I know she is working hard to realize our dream of exploring the immense universe," the 38-year-old space expert said, referring to Chang'e-3, China's latest lunar probe. Chang'e-3 made the first soft landing on the moon in nearly four decades last year.

"The day - Dec 14, 2013 - has been enshrined in my life as it witnessed the successful Chang'e-3 landing on the moon," he added.
