the dark side of the moon which can't be seen from has long been a source of fascination an unexplored frontier celebrated in popular culture but now thanks to a pioneering chinese space mission it is being explored for the very first time the chunky four spacecraft was launched last month and successfully landed on the far side of the moon at two twenty six g.m.t. on thursday. by ground zero used the whole process was as expected the result was pretty precise and the landing was very stable the current landing location is our most ideal landing place in other words we were right on target the chunky four carries a rope which will study the means to rain and send back samples to the scientists say the far side of the moon is geologically different to the near side one of the goals of this mission is to find out more about what lies beneath the surface but china's space dreams don't end that it wants to catch up with the united states and russia one day even leave the world space race china is treating the moon as the first big outpost in deep space for its long term plans it's already

for most of human history the oceans were projection screens for the imagination of an unexplored and irrepressible the a mighty barrier a place of terror. despite its dangers the ocean became more and more important over the centuries. as global trade developed merchant fleets transformed the oceans into vast shipping lanes people from cost centuries would never have dreamed of laying claim to the ocean for them it was a blue. it's formed with dangers and obstacles that needed to be overcome a sailor's journey to foreign lands. and of course the two dimensional bit is ironic because the ocean is so material a three dimensional you know we you step into the ocean you sank yet in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries something happened that changed our idea of the ocean for ever the seabed became a place of exploration in eight hundred fifty eight as the transatlantic cable was being late engineers noticed variation in the oceans to. be evidence of undersea mountains the first scientific study of the ocean floor was undertaken by the german survey vessel meteo in one thousand nine hun

has already sent back an image of the largest, deepest and oldest crater on the rugged, largely unexploredaiming to become a major space power by 2030. 0ur science editor david shukman reports. haunting and barren, much of the surface of the moon has been well known for centuries. but this is the side we see from earth. by contrast, the far side is far more mysterious, with the deepest craters. and when nasa considered landing astronauts there back in the ‘60s, the idea was rejected as too risky. in this image, it's easier to see how different the two sides are, and no one really knows why. so the chinese lander, now on the far side, will analyse the rocks. scientists are hoping to learn how the moon was formed, but some experts say this is more about china planting a flag. the fact that they chose to land on the far side of the moon is part of a chinese strategy to do things that haven't been done before, to garner the prestige that comes with it, because that prestige very often translates into geostrategic influence. this is one of a series of moon landings by china, and the big questio

this is a new locale that had previously been unexplored, which we can now say that we have a robotic how do you keep something of this magnitude under wraps? it is just something you can do in a command and control economy. china‘s space programme is actually run by the military, so they do things a bit differently. they didn‘t want to get all the information out there until it was proven to be successful. that is just sort of how they have done things over the years, just to make sure it is successful before you get it out there, so you don‘t lose face perhaps if things don‘t go well. so, people have been to the moon before, but not to the far side of the moon. what do you think this means in terms of space exploration? this is a milestone. a milestone march in showing us how we are advancing as a species out into the solar system. i mean, i don‘t expect us to have moon bases on the moon or the far side any time soon, and in that sense it is kind of symbolic, because this is a tough place to explore. it is really hard to actually communicate back to earth, because you are always fac
