China's Mars ambitions one step closer after successful test of lander

Huailai, China

The trial took place Thursday in the mountainous landscape of Hebei province, about an hour and a half drive north of Beijing. Chinese officials said the landscape mirrored the slopes and craters of the planet Mars. The lander sits before being lifted for tests of its hovering, obstacle avoidance and deceleration capabilities.The lander was suspended 70 meters above the ground on 36 huge steel cables, which rose up to 140 meters into the air.

'Borrowing' US technology and know-how, of coarse.

Good

Cant be trusted! Made in China ! Are you?

some knock off

Great

China is much prospective than others develop countries regarding space programme.........

Nice

China needs to fix its Human Rights report card and record first before probing around on other worlds that are of key interest to the whole of humanity. Where is the oversight here? Is Chinese activity and data from Mars going to be open sourced? Or is that censored too?

We here at the US are too busy arguing over our supposed president’s extortion actions with Ukraine while China becomes the 1 global leader in space exploration. So very sad! This makes us no longer proud of the USA in this category!

Nope. The US taxpayer is done being ripped off.

CNN and China r linked arm in arm like comrades

Congrats, China

It's not really difficult to rip off other people's technology and then get PR puff pieces from leftist fake news agencies like CNN

Looks like a remake of Jodie Foster's 'Contact' ... but the smoke will keep away Godzilla

chinese is amaiza

That's cool... We're going back to the moon...

CNN wants CHINA to WIN! VOTE TRUMP!!!! Trump2020

Wow they really wanna make sure they find every HK protestor huh

Let’s not forget it was Obama that [sold] authorized the FBI to release a Chinese spy to leave the USA with 38 terabytes of NASA data.

That’s pretty cool.

In the meantime, the US is strapping AR-15s to satellites .... exploration? ... Go Space Farce

USA still think your the most powerful nation on earth? Not any more.

Let’s not forget it was Obama that authorized the FBI to release a Chinese spy to leave the USA with 38 terabytes of NASA data.

Hey China, There,s NOTHING IN Mars. (martians included).

WSJ News Exclusive | U.S.-China Trade Talks Hit Snag Over Farm PurchasesTrade talks between the U.S. and China have hit a snag over farm purchases, creating another obstacle as Beijing and Washington try to lock down the limited trade deal President Trump outlined last month.
