Congratulations china from India

C’mon!
It’s not as if this is a first for Chinese…
They’ve been there dozens of times and, like everything else they do, the excitement had ran out of it already…
I doubt the CNSA, or Beijing, or the Chinese nation as a whole is seeking credit here. They are, simply, just out to reach a goal and that goal science and the cosmos.
My bet is this fanfare is geared towards pissing the Indians off cuz they knows the Indians can’t appear as playing second fiddles to the Chinese hence they are using it as a swipe on the Indians faces.
Bottom line: this sort of stuff is now just routines for the Chinese.
They have no need to brag or show off like Indians does.

Congratulations❤❤❤

[@sly2392]

can someone explain to me as to how this lander got there so quickly ? do they have warp speed capabilities ?

[@sidharthcs2110]

2-3 days is normal for direct ascend.
Long March 5B is a powerful rocket

[@woncarter5211]

since the mission was not manned, they chose an orbit that took less time and used less fuel

[@lancejian4972]

Powerful rocket gave spaceship enough speed. And the spaceship carries enough fuel to slow it down when it reaches moon orbit.

[@ug43kxs]

Cos this time it from earth to moon directly

You are talking to yourself.. a stupid person asked a stupid question only he can answer.
