I decided to post these stories since nobody else would. I know they're a few days old, but it still doesn't make it any less newsworthy. It also raises some interesting questions about NASA and the ESA, and whether or not they are falling behind.

 

Falling behind?  Hardly.  China is launching a simple moon rover - we had men walking there over four decades ago.  India launched a rover to Mars to accompany the four that we've landed there already; the latest by using a mind-boggling complex technique.  

 

No, they're just beginning to catch up.  

 

Btw, China's space program is only as good as the technology they can steal.
