Landed. Well done Nasa. 6 months it took to get there. Hope we find some aliens and stuff. or as Bobby Hundreds famously posted years ago "I hope they find a mattress, that will really put the cat amongst the pigeons"

Amazing achievement.

First picture back as well. Albeit with the dust cover still on the lens, which will be coming off.

Are you suggesting that they have taken a woman up in it?

If little green men exist on Mars, they will probably be amazed at the number of UFOs that keep landing on their planet. I wonder if they would hide the evidence?

I'd say they'd blame it on Jeremy Corbyn.

I wondered why the mission is sponsored by Bulky Bobs.

They are taking silkworm eggs? To the dark side of the moon? There's a horror film waiting to be made. 

[SasaS]

Taking this new silk road project a bit too far.

Bit worried the Chinese have landed a probe on the dark side of the moon and when Neil Armstrong was there he's reported to have told the doctor on a closed medical radio channel: "they're here on the side of the crater, they're watching us." And the yanks stopped going to the moon shortly after.

3 yrs after.  

 

I heard it it was because of the cheese lobby.  Very powerful the cheese lobby.

Hopefully he meant Transformers. Autobots though, not Decepticons.

Trump will be trying to rush his Space Force through in response..

 

Just read it's carrying potatoes and fruit flies. If the Chinese are trying to set up a lunar prison to get rid of fruit flies (annoying little fuckers), then I'm all in.
