* History was made 2024 as the Chang’e-6 lander-ascender combination achieved a soft landing, digging and lift-off on the far side of the Moon. A Chinese Lunar rover filmed the process. Supported by communication via the Queqiao-2 relay satellite, the lander-ascender perfectly touched down in the South Pole-Aitken Basin—an area rich in scientific intrigue. This milestone marked the first-ever landing and exploration mission on the lunar far side. Yes, China has long since also orbited and mapped Mars as well as landing a rover there but that was much simpler of a task in comparison. The Queqiao-2 relay satellite was the second of the communications relay and radio astronomy satellites designed to support the Chinese Lunar Exploration Program, after Queqiao-1 launched in 2018. The Queqiao-2 relay satellite went into an elliptical frozen orbit around the Moon to support communications from the far side of the Moon and the Lunar south pole. The Chang'e-6 mission successfully returned to Earth samples from two meter depth on the dark (US astronauts lost connection to Earth because US lacks Lunar communication satellites) side of the Moon.
The 1960s already taught us that Moon landing is easier with humans onboard.
Japan faced the same racism when it as the first country in the world managed to land and take samples home from an asteroid. However, now when China is in the lead, Japan is accepted as long as its politicians are hostile to China.

Is the Jewish community more protected than e.g. the Palestinian community?!
The
rest of BBC News is then dedicated to defend the "Jewish community"
(read 'Israel's genocide, progroms, illegal occupations, illegal
annexations* etc.') against "anti-semitism". However, what is the
"Jewish community"? Clearly BBC doesn't mean Atheist and Communist Jews,
nor Jews opposing Israel's genocide etc. So BBC essentially defends
orthodox Jews who support Israel's war crimes in the Knesset. This
insidious tactic hence defends war criminals by connecting them into a
general "Jewish community".

Putin asked Crimeans, and got overwhelming majority supporting
annexation because of Ukraina's heavy oppression against Crimeans. In
fact, the support was much more than the percentage of Russian speakers
there. However, Netanyahu didn't ask Palestinians!
