Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
China's lunar
probe soft-lands on moon.
A few scores ago, then
two superpowers that divided the world, the USA and the USS, competed in the
space race, sending men in space and even to moon in spacecraft that weren’t
equipped with no less than the one-hundred of today’s smartphone’s
microprocessor.
The emerging 21st
century’s superpower, China, made a success in its first soft-landing mission
on the moon with much more sophisticated equipment and procedure as well as the
country's first moon rover onboard on 14th December, 2013.
For Chinese, the
moon is not just a new extraterrestrial body but also a main source for inspiration
and one of the most important themes in Chinese literature and ancient Chinese
myths. The reason the mission was named Chang'e, a lady who took her Jade
Rabbit to fly toward the moon, where she became a goddess.
Enjoy reading and
learning about the newest exploration to create a new legend to China’s long
history.
