#China successfully landed a robotic spacecraft on the far side of the Moon, the first ever such attempt and landing. . It is carrying instruments to analyse the unexplored region's geology, as well to conduct biological experiments. The landing is being seen as a major milestone in space exploration. Previous Moon missions have landed on the Earth-facing side, but this is the first time any craft has landed successfully on the unexplored and rugged far side. Some spacecraft have crashed into the far side, either after system failures, or after they had completed their mission. The lander also carried a container with six live species from Earth - cotton, rapeseed, potato, fruit fly, yeast and arabidopsis (a flowering plant) - to try to form a mini biosphere. The arabidopsis plant may produce the first flower on the Moon, . . . . . #moon #moonlanding #chinesespaceprogram #china #america #japanesespaceagency #jaxa #nasa #isro #esa #chrishadfield #neildegrassetyson #ussr #fakemoonlanding #moonlandinghoax #fakemoon #flatearthsociety #flatearth #flatearthmemes #flatearthtruth #flatearther #elonmusk #spacex #tesla #cars #artificialintelligence https://www.instagram.com/p/BsM4aTeh-_9/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1b01cguusuq9q
