They did it, and congratulations are due! The Chinese have landed a probe on the back side of the moon.
Where have we been…? You ~ may ~ remember when Obama dispatched our NASA scientists to the Middle East to tell the Arabs how important their contribution has been to our Space Exploration Program…
Militarily, this is a BIG GAME CHANGER!
If a nuclear submarine carrying 16 ICBMs – lurking 400 feet below the surface of the Pacific Ocean is a threat to an opposing nation…..
….JUST THINK what a pod of ICBMs lurking on the back side of the moon would represent…..
AND,…since the gravity of the moon is just 17% of the gravity of Earth, the missiles emplaced there – targeted for US cities, – can be MUCH SMALLER than the missiles aboard nuclear submarines.
I’m thinking 5 years – max…

Mike,
You mean, China isn’t studying “Climate Change” on the dark side of the moon?
I’m shocked. SHOCKED!

Hank Johnson says there is nothing to worry about as the weight of the CHI-COMM missiles would cause the moon to flip over.
