It's way too prominent for that. We'll know either way, though if it failed I don't expect they'll give much information about why. But they have been a lot more open about their space program recently. It's quite possible that even if it landed successfully they won't say anything about it until they've run system checks and made sure everything is still working. The moon landings were like that. Could be a while before there's an update.

Does successfully landed mean it's working, or just that it made it down in one piece?

Eh, go easy. These space missions are good stuff, no matter who's sending them up. Presuming, of course, that the data is shared with the wider scientific community.

Space exploration is good. This rover isn't particularly capable, it's more a proof of concept mission, but that's appropriate for the level China's space program is at. They can use the data from this to build future missions that could accomplish more.

its all propaganda stunts, the soil on mars is poison and it would be easier to terraform earth after full nuclear war and climate change than to terraform mars better these than direct sabrerattling

Grand Fromage posted:gently caress off with the anti-science poo poo. the science is a fig leaf for the dickwaving and always has been on national space programs generally. thats why folks are speculating about settlement next, like the polar dickwaving in the age of polar exploration the mild territorial claims on antarctica that they have today - which will suddenly turn serious if they find anything except cold lifeless rock down there - were starting to be made in the 30s, so expect territorial claims of similar middling seriousness to be made on mars 20 year after the first person lands there. likely it will keep bein middling, what with the lifeless rock thing and all bob dobbs is dead fucked around with this message at 03:04 on May 15, 2021 |

If the cold war dickwaved a cure for cancer or AIDS I don't think anyone would give a poo poo. Space is cool, living on mars is cool, getting off the earth is cool. I'm sorry you can't take joy in the collective accomplishments of humanity because your thinking is poisoned in such a way as to make everything a contest between state entities.

you know a thing that may or may not be cool but is extremely depressing? ballistic missiles. the thing that the ussr and usa had the original space race for and now the prc is doing this one also to improve their ballistic missiles and train up a new generation of engineers to work on that stuff
