If successful, the Tianwen-1, or “Questions to Heaven”, which is the name of a poem written two millennia ago, will make China the first country to orbit, land and deploy a rover in its inaugural mission. “Entering, deceleration and landing is a very difficult . We believe China’s EDL process can still be successful, and the spacecraft can land safely,” Liu said.

The United States has plans to send a probe in coming months that will deploy a rover called Perseverance, the biggest, heaviest, most advanced vehicle sent to the Red Planet by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration .China’s probe will carry several scientific instruments to observe the planet’s atmosphere and surface, searching for signs of water and ice.

Isn’t it banal that China still qualifies and gets development aid mainly financed by the West...

Anyway, China’s leadership will fail. They rule China by force, not the will of the people. Like any fascist regime, their time is limited. History bears witness all the time.

Communists ... In spaaaaaace! They take the credit, and the plebs on earth foot the bill.

Tone? Why 'bid' and 'demonstrate'? Can't we just be happy about the launch and wish them success?

successfully launched is not equal successful .😏

Virus delivery

It will failed ‼️ China is the Virus‼️

It can be certain that the urine-drinking Indians are getting so jealous.

China's showing off the muscles to the world.

Your previous headline stated, 'China successfully launched an unmanned probe to Mars in its first independent mission to another planet', why does the new headline show a political bias?

If only the millions of Uyghurs in concentration camp can watch this live, they will be sooooooo proud.

Look at this team, the average age is no more than 35 years old.

Didn't Dominic Raab just announce a reduction in Foreign Aid the UK will send to China?

路透社醋味挺浓😁酸溜溜的🤣🤣🤣

In just 40 years, China has done so well for itself. But with this economic glory comes the responsibility to better manage its affairs with America and Western Europe. She needs them.

No wonder they antagonised so many nations all at once.

So did the UAE a few days earlier. So not really global leadership in space.

Can eat shit

In a bid to ensure little interruption to their money-grabbing, China let a virus loose on the world. Nobody gives a toss what else they do.

China dont want propaganda, please take back this report.

china sending coronavirus to mars. ☠️

With any luck; it’ll get hit by a meteor on the way.

Sending Covid-19 off to Mars.Thanks but too late.

But what about Space Force?

Bootlegged American-software i am sure. Hope they are not sending one of their deadly viruses with it

Couldn't they have sent some people

Will 🇨🇳 claim Mars based on their stupid indisputable historical rights?

Unmanned up.

I think only those who know nothing about China will claim that China's tec is stolen from other countries. I'm proud to be a Chinese, and I can't tolerate any words which abuse China!

Congrations!

China: Mars is ours.

I am jealous, but great job! Some hope that other nations can achieve this too - not just the same old US.
