China's Chang'e-6 probe made a historic touchdown on the moon's far side on Sunday, marking the first time human technology has collected lunar samples from this seldom-explored region.
The mission, supported by the Queqiao-2 relay satellite, achieved a precise landing at 6:23 a.m. Beijing Time within the South Pole-Aitken Basin.
Designers described the landing as a bold "all or nothing" endeavor, emphasizing the high stakes involved.
Huang Hao from the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation shared with CGTN, "Landing on the moon leaves no margin for error."
