Funny old life, isn't it...? 095:17:28 Evans: Roger. Among the large headlines concerning Apollo this morning, is one asking that you watch for a lovely girl with a big rabbit. An ancient legend says a beautiful Chinese girl called Chang-O has been living there for 4,000 years. It seems she was banished to the Moon because she stole the pill of immortality from her husband. You might also look for her companion, a large Chinese rabbit, who is easy to spot since he is always standing on his hind feet in the shade of a cinnamon tree. The name of the rabbit is not reported.[Chang-O is also spelled Ch'ang O and, in the more modern rendition, Chang'e.]Wow, now 44 years later China has landed the beautiful Chinese girl called Chang'e and her jade rabbit Yutu on the Moon. What a beautiful sentiment, thank you for finding that gem Nick!
I just notices how young the entire team is, and I have to look it up. It turns out, the team's average age is only 32.4 years old. How's that for a aerospace project!!! May all these young guys and gals have a wonder future and career with the Chinese space program.http://www.chinanews.com/gn/2013/12-02/5566366.shtml
Should China put in a sneaky bid for the Google X prize? Maybe settle for even $5m?
