Dark Side of the moon

I see the Chinese are sending the first mission to the dark side of the moon. Shame there's not more information on it, live feeds etc. No surprise there though.

The "Dark Side of the Moon" is an album by Pink Floyd.

And a fine piece of work it is too.

Eric Mc said:

The probe is landing on the FAR side of the moon - which will be nicely lit up by the sun and far from dark at the moment the probe/rover lands.

BRB - just off to self flagellate for such a schoolboy booboo.

Eric Mc said:

Fair play to China for having a go at this. It is probably the last "first" of significance in the unmanned exploration of the moon.

Indeed, certainly watching with interest.
