NEWS BULLETIN! Beverage Alert!
China Set to be First to Land Mars Rover on First Attempt!
"The Chinese National Space Administration, or CNSA, says its Tianwen-1 orbiter will release its Zhurong Mars rover on 17 May.
The orbiter arrived in Mars orbit on 24 February, carrying with it the rover and its landing cradle.
The lander will detach from the orbiter and start to descend into Mars’ thin atmosphere, protected by a heat shield that’s designed to also slow the lander down with its sheer bluntness."
I would be interested in hearing your thoughts on this China space program...
We can no longer ignore what China is doing, in my view...

Don't we already have a rover and helicopter on Mars, or am I missing something here? As far as I'm concerned China needs to take a breath, and realize that America still leads the World.

Indeed, we have multiple rovers and landers on Mars Gunny... What is missing and what they are saying to the world is this from a China perspective:
It took several tries for the U.S. to get an active working Rover on Mars... China will do it on the first try... (Of course they copied much of our development over the years...)
