The rover, Zhurong, named after a god of fire in Chinese mythology, landed Saturday morning at the pre-selected area in Utopia Planitia on Mars, according to the state-run Xinhua news agency. The six-wheel solar-powered Zhurong rover weighs about 240 kilograms and carries six scientific instruments. It will be later deployed from the lander for a three-month mission in search of life on Mars' surface.

Tianwen-1 is one of three international Mars missions that launched last summer, along with NASA's Perseverance rover, which landed on Mars in February, and the United Arab Emirates' Hope Probe, which entered orbit around Mars, also in February. Unlike the US and China missions, the UAE probe is not intended to land on Mars -- just study the planet from orbit.

well i landed on Mars too when i dream

Why would anyone believe China state media?

I don't like the government and the party, but I am so proud of the 5000 years great history, great culture and great achievement by the great people! Each country in the world has its problem, China or US. US is being transformed from north America to south Africa.

Had Germany been a peaceful democratic nation in 1940s they would have been first on moon and would have had a colony on Mars by 1960s.

If they did it, because they steal the 'how to do it ' from NASA. Please stop advertise chinease success in STEALING OUR TECHNOLOGY!

Amazing

The US wasnt even the first to the Mars.

too bad it was china. im sure they'll find a way to screw something up

Awesome China 👍

I think the point of western wold education of freedom and critical thinking are not just deny everything that another country has done, China is not a perfect country and neither the US, we should embrace every decent human being even though they have different political belief.

Fake news it crashed in water

I bet It has a $shib on it

After a few days of diagnostic testing, it can begin its mission of erecting 5G towers.

Let both rovers fight. Winner keeps planet

The United States needs to get its shit together. There will be Chinese flags on the moon and Mars while some Congressional budget committee argues about some billion dollar program that will never get off the ground...

China will answer its human rights violations on mars.. finally🤣🤣

Evil is on the move. It is up to the same old tricks and as usual insists that my life be devastated. They do not win when they lose and you do not hold an innocent man in chains (literally and figuratively). You just have to see.

I don't care where ever you go, but please take virus with you.

Did it have a covid vaccine passport ?.

Space force do your thing!

It's like the old space race days. Maybe this competition will increase funding for NASA projects.

Well done China!

How much will they pay their employees they ship to Mars?

So China going to give the Aliens COVID-19 too.

The communist government have the technology to land a space craft on Mars, but they don't have the capability to control the spread of infectious diseases on earth.

how they get the picture if it was the first one lol

Let’s hope it doesn’t fall back to earth…

Watch them try to claim they were there first and should get all mining and colonization rights

forallmankind_ got anything to say about this? ;) any hints to season 3 or can’t you say? 🤫

Will this someday crash land somewhere back on earth?

I wonder if you can get coronavirus there? chinarocket ChinaLiedPeopleDied CCP_is_terrorist CCPVirus ChinaCOVIDTruth WHO Biden BorisJohnson

Hope they take it over

Just as Trump emboldened the racists and insurrectionists, USGov has emboldened the IDF to commit further war crimes and bomb journalists reporting those crimes. This is exactly what GWBush did to AJEnglish in Iraq. Israel learn from the US playbook.

So they can pollute Mars too, earth isn’t enough?

What's the deal with landing a British car on a caramel-chocolate candy bar? Why using a Rover™ anyways, why not a Haval™ or Great Wall™?

Congratulations on this incredible achievement!

With China’s current track record of being in the news as of late I’m waiting for something to go south here

Wait... first... does Russia not exist anymore? Have we broken off from the worldline?

Chinese virus reaches Mars. The country which killed millions around the world gets congratulated.

Impressive if they really landed on Mars.but you can never believe china they lie so much because they hate failure.but if they successfully landed on Mars then wel done its not easy.

Hi,Chinese Tianwen Rover, if you find any martian, Make sure to let them understand what is colonizing and help them resisit the same like what the local natives suffered in earth over the past 300 years by conolizers especially the local natives suffered in so called 'America'

It's not a space race. Resources in earth is limited. We got to leave mother earth someday for our own survival. It's not about competition, it's for the future of humankind. Stop all the saltiness and cold war propaganda. Human should united to explore the universe.

some of you guys really gotta calm your ass. Just because it's China that sent out a Mar Rover ya'll really just gotta start being xenophobic... Like literally 'Oh no they're bringing COVID to mars' haha, hilarious 😶

There's so many comments says 'it just can't be','no picture',it shows the world knows China still not much yet.

$HOKK is Next

Not the Chinese trying to infect Mars!

With US stolen technology!

China government is lame. Freedom will always win.

Wait a minute, why is it always computer generated graphics you show instead of real photos when something lands on Mars?

I'm proud of my country!🇨🇳

It's Bullshit people. The USA or China have neither one landed on Mars. Can't wait for all the other countrys to land on Mars also and NASA can't debunk them because they will be admitting they have not been there either. It's all a Movie and you Sheep are eating it up.

Why is everything a race? You cannot take money to the grave.

Cap

Next thing we know is they are building homes there

First Rover to say 'Red Rover, Red Rover, I call _____ over' wins.

OMG, the comments are sour!

Light it up boys SpaceForceDoD

Yay good for China!
