Much of the focus for NASA and many other space organizations around the world has been on Mars for a while now. Sending a crewed mission to Mars, even if it just orbits the planet and then flies back home, will be an amazing accomplishment for whatever group is the first to make it happen, but Earth’s Moon may still hold some incredible secrets worth exploring.
With that in mind, China is hoping that its Chang’e-4 mission will give scientists a better idea of the composition of the Moon itself, and maybe even reveal its potential for supporting life. The mission, which has many moving parts including a lander and a rover, will target the far side of the Moon for the first time ever.
