China launches first moon mission
Lead:
(CNN) -- China launched its first lunar probe early Monday, which, if all goes well, will make it only the third nation -- after the United States and the Soviet Union -- to soft-land on the moon.
Paragraph 4: If all goes smoothly, the rover will conduct geological surveys and search for natural resources after the probe touches down on the moon in mid-December as China's first spacecraft to make a soft landing(软 着陆) beyond Earth.
Paragraph 3: President Xi Jinping has said he wants China to establish itself as a space superpower, and the mission has inspired widespread pride in China's growing technological prowess(超凡技术). State television showed a live broadcast of the rocket lifting off.
Soft land:A safe landing approach at a certain speed after the spacecraft decelerates through a special device.
Paragraph 5-6: In 2007, China launched its first moon orbiter(人造卫 星), the Chang'e-1 - named after a lunar goddess which took images of the surface and analysed the distribution of elements. The lunar buggy was named the Jade Rabbit in a public vote, a folkloric(民俗的) reference to the goddess's pet.

Q.2 What is the Yutu(or Jade Rabbit)? Yutu is a lunar rover(月球 探测车), a space exploration vehicle designed to move across the surface of the Moon. It's carried by the Chang'e-3 lunar probe. It is China's first lunar rover.
Brandon S： This may create problems if they start mining the moon or colonizing it. Who polices the moon? What if the moon is damaged or destroyed? How would that impact earth - tides, etc. Something to think about!

China launches lunar probe carrying 'Jade Rabbit'

Beijing:China launched its first ever extraterrestrial(地球外的) landing craft into orbit en route(在途中) for the moon in the small hours of Monday, in a major milestone for its space programme.
If the US 'government' weren't filled with thieves and robbers, the USA could also afford to do something in space.
Omid： Have China or any other country ever tried to prevent US from technological achievements? So why US always try to prevent other nations from developing their technologies and make progress?

In the United States, scientists are concerned the Chinese mission could interfere with a NASA study of the moon's dust environment(粉尘环境). Chang'e3's descent(降落) is likely to create a noticeable plume on the moon's surface that could skew(影响其 准确性) the results of research already being carried out by NASA's Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer (LADEE)(月球大气和粉尘探 测器), Jeff Plescia, chair of NASA's Lunar Exploration Analysis Group told Space.com, a space news site.
Paragraph 10-12: But it is still far from catching up with the established space superpowers, whose moon landings date back more than four decades. Beijing insists its space programme is for peaceful purposes, but the US Department of Defence has made clear it wants to prevent China's increasing space capabilities giving it any strategic advantage. China says it will share the technological achievements of its manned space programme with other nations, especially developing ones, and will offer to train astronauts from other countries.
Robert Ducker： There is no reason for Americans to wish China anything but great success. I doubt NASA would have got the money to land on the moon were we not in a race with the Soviet Union. Also be reminded that India has a craft traveling to Mars at this time. BooBoo：
Sandeep Pari (Bangalore)： so now space war between asian countries India to mars and China to moon We have chosen Mars they have chosen moon .....!!!!
Paragraph 7-9：
Chinese scientists have discussed the possibility of sending a human to the moon some time after 2020. In China's latest manned space mission in June, three astronauts spent 15 days in orbit and docked(对接) with an experimental space laboratory, part of Beijing's quest to build a working space station by 2020. If the lunar mission is successful, China will become the third country, after the United States and the former Soviet Union, to soft-land on the moon.
Paragraph 2:
The Chang'e-3 lunar probe, which includes the Yutu or Jade Rabbit buggy(月球车), blasted off(发射升空) on board an enhanced Long March-3B carrier rocket(长征三号运载火箭) from the Xichang Satellite Launch Centre in China's southwestern Sichuan province at 1:30am.
Indian Netizens
Prasant Swain (India): We will send a tiger to the moon :D
potterbond007 (United Kingdom):
The moon?? We have already got upto Mars..
Debi Acharya (Bhubaneswar)： China is also in the space race. They may claim moon to belong to China in times to come.
