There are few phenomena more heroic and inspiring than space travel. Only a select group of the smartest and most capable humans ever get the opportunity to see our small small planet from another view - beyond the atmosphere. Charles ‘Charlie’ Duke was one of those men. He was the tenth person to ever set foot on the moon’s surface and just the sixth person to pilot one of NASA’s most sophisticated electric vehicles of all time, the Lunar Roving Vehicle.

Last week, to surprisingly little fanfare outside of China, the Chinese National Space Agency (CNSA. Remember that: you’ll be hearing a lot of it in future) landed the Chang’e 5 unmanned lunar probe on the Moon. It drilled and scooped a bit of the Moon, and then took off to bring that bit of Moon back to China, landing in Inner Mongolia yesterday.
During its time on the Moon it also raised the Chinese flag.
Only a little one, mind, but a flag never the less.
Big deal, says you. Sure the Americans did that in the late 1960s.
