China Reaches the Moon 30 Years Later

The New York Times reports that the Chinese has sent their first lunar probe into space. This is the first step in an ambitious 10 year plan, after which the Chinese hope to be able to retrieve their moon rover. This launch comes weeks after Japan did the very same thing.

Don’t these Asian countries get that the US and the USSR did this 30 years ago? It means nothing to everyone. It’s like that kid at school who was always the last one to get everything.
