- China's Chang'e 6 is now back on terra firma with the first ever rock samples taken from the dark side of the moon. As well as Chinese technology, the mission involved cooperation with scientists from France, Sweden, Italy and the European Space Agency. So what does this mean for future lunar missions, and further international cooperation in space?
To find out, in this episode of The Agenda, Juliet Mann speaks to Andrew Coates, Professor of Physics in the Department of Space and Climate Physics at UCL, Clive Neal, Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering and Earth Sciences at Notre Dame and, to get a view from someone who’s actually been into orbit above the earth, Yi So-yeon, South Korea's first astronaut.

China's Chang'e moon missions has landed on both near-side and far-side of the moon (first time in human history on earth), collected rock samples and successfully brought them back to earth ...
Yes, it is correct. The Chang'e 4 and 6 landed on the far side of the Moon. Chang'e 5 landed on the near side of the Moon. The near side is the side of the Moon always facing Earth. Because of her unique geosynchronous rotation, the far side of the Moon is permanently on the far side. I do not know if this geosynchronous rotation also applies to other moons and planets in our solar system, or this is a rare unique rotation. Thank you.
The concept of the "Dark Side of the Moon" is ridiculous. All sides of the Moon get daylight. It's the "Far Side of the Moon". The reason why it's the Far Side of the Moon is that we never get to see it from Earth. The Moon's orbit around Earth, and its Rotation on its axis synchronise to the point that the same side of the Moon is always facing Earth.
Spot on. The earth and the moon rotates on its axes. The Lunar rotation is unique. It is a synchronous rotation. Together, planets Earth and Moon rotate around the sun. As you described, from planet Earth, we do not see the far side of the Moon. Again, because of this synchrony. For decades, no man or modules have landed on the far side of the Moon. Chang'e 4 was the first attempt by Chinese scientists to land on the far side. It was a calculated risk, hit or miss attempt. For the last few minutes towards touchdown, the Chang'e 4 was on AI and robotic mode, with loads of luck. Fortunately, Chang'e 4 was lucky. For Chang'e 6,Chinese scientists launched a rely satellite Queqiao 2 sat, to assist the Chang'e 6 in the final touchdowns. This time, Chang'e 6 had constant radio contacts with Beijing. At final touchdowns, rock sampling rover, retrieve, broadcasts, and final ascent, homeward bound. With much luck, it was successful and Chang'e 6 landed in China safely this week. All these space technologies are indigenous, with some international partners participating. Pakistan, France and Italy had some space devices on board the Chang'e 6.The USA and NASA cannot collaborate in all Chinese space missions, lunar rocks, and data sharing because of the Wolf Amendment. China reinvented the wheel and retrieved rock samples from the South Pole Aitken Basin on the far side. Thank you.
The race between the Soviet Union and the US was more about "bragging rights" for who being the first. Once the thrill of a brag is done and dusted, there is no longer any thrill to be gained. Now the US finds itself lacking as depicted by the repeated failure to launch the Artemis, and now the two stranded astronauts in the ISS.
What the latest problems NASA faced is the lack of vigorous testing and quality control. One would think that the repeated leaking in the Artemis was enough to spur on engineers to double and treble checks on the Boeing rockets. Now they are trying to fix the leaks a long way from earth, and have two lives dependent on a successful return rocket !
The US had barred China in the past space ventures, thinking that in doing so, it would deprive China of any means to go it alone, and hence forever be playing catch-up. That kind of mentality also reflected in US politics and trades. Someone likened it to the "Tanya Harding" saga when she wanted her rival Nancy Kerrigan to suffer some form of psychological trauma before the big race. But it backfired on Tanya Harding badly. How about the comparison between the story "The hare and the turtle ?"
Absolutely Spot-On 👍👍👍
NASA：Give me the soil！
Good production
It's the shy side of the moon.
Next stage is not humans on the moon. It is Return Samples from Other Heavenly bodies like the Sun, Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, etc. All Robotic missions.
No issues with kyber belt ?
I wonder how many experiments can be conducted with 1935 g of material.
I know not how many experiments can be conducted with 1935g of material, but I know US is getting 0.000001g of it lol.
Over 1 Million experiments.

actually china cannot share anything in regards to space exploration with the us... cause of the 2011 w0lf am3ndm3nt... ti was the root cause of the reason why china started their own space exploration... well along with the us denying china to access the old iss...
In 1978, the US gave 1 g of their lunar sample to China, and we, Chinese, learnt a lot from it.
@@chrislui571
that was when usa established a good relationship...
but 2011 the us passed the w0lf am3ndm3nt that prevents the us and china on space exploration...
What will you find on the moon thatll make you quit fighting on earth?
Helium 3! Helium 3 is the clean version of Nuclear Powered Reactors. Same power, same length of existence, but ... no Nuclear wastes. Helium 3 burns up rapidly when entering the Earth's atmosphere, so we have very little of it. But ... if we can bring Rocket Containments of it back to Earth, then you have abundance of energy and the country will become exceptionally wealthy.

Hahaha. China to share .Why USA kick them out of ISS😂
Media for masses 😂
far side of the moon
It's not dark side
It is far side, not dark side.
Based on the 1 gram of "lunar soil" provided by the United States, China has trained many "geophysicists".🤣🤣
i sense jealousy!
There is no dark side?
Asked Nasa for that
You can still refer it as the 'dark side' if your point of view is earth. scientifically the moon does not have a dark side in the sense that no sunlight can reach. But, nasa is a science institution, it should know better

💙 i wish i was
Chinese.💙
🤗 You are very smart and Funny. Thanks for making me laugh.
Far side of the moon, dark side = homeless area in western country😊
LOL😂😂😂 clearly you don’t show the actual footage cause it looks so fake 😂😂😂 let’s better watch the NASA moon landing and their golf adventures on the moon 😂😂😂😂
Landing where? Area 51😂😂😂
China won't share any research findings.. But what gains will they have? 😂😅
Selling Moon soil sample $100M/gram 😂😅
Geez, everybody will start heading to the moon. All the greedy corporations.
Priceless, more expensive than Ming china. 😂

I can give soil samples to NASA for free!! I have a lot in my backyard 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I respectively disagree with your opinions.
The US Wolf Amendment forbids America from collaborating with China.
Many international partners have been invited to participate in lunar missions Chang'e 4,5 6 and 7 next year. These countries are Pakistan France and Italy. The US has to repeal the Wolf Amendment and renegotiate with Beijing. And Beijing may still say No. Thank you.
'Dark Side of the Moon'?? I hope this title is serious😂😂
