CHINA'S MISSION TO THE FARSIDE OF THE MOON: China is going where no one has gone before--the farside of the Moon. Today, a Long March 3B rocket is scheduled to blast off from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center, propelling a lander and rover toward hidden craters possibly containing water and other resources key to future human exploration. If the mission succeeds, it will catapult China into the forefront of lunar exploration with a landing that no other nation has even dared to attempt.
