    太好了!

    Very nice landing for Zhuque-3. Zhuque-3 being very comparable in size and payload capacity means China has the potential for a good workhorse rocket. Zhuque-3 also has the benefit of being metholox instead of Falcon 9’s kerolox.

      It would need to be significantly larger to do either, and if someone had something come back from landing on mars it would be on every news station in the world.

      A side note that is if we were able to get a sample that is already sitting in one of the rovers we could potentially scientifically prove alien microbial life exists or existed on mars.

        The title just says landing confirmed. There isn’t even a link to an article though, just a video. I had to web search to find out that the landing was on earth. I didn’t expect Mars, but my first thought was a 1-way moon mission with a soft landing. I think Russia/USSR has done a bunch of those. Mars has also had many such landings.

        Anyway thanks for the news, it just could have had some more info in the text post.
