And if all goes according to plan,  China will launch its first lunar probe at 1:30 a.m. Monday (12:30 p.m.  ET Sunday), state-run Xinhua news agency <a href="http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/china/2013-11/30/c_132930356.htm" target="_blank">reported</a>. The feat will be a  significant one. It will make China the third nation -- after the United  States and the Soviet Union -- to soft-land on the moon. And it will come just over a decade after the country first sent an astronaut into space. The Chang'e-3 probe --  which will blast off from a Long March 3B rocket in Sichuan province  located in southwest China -- is expected to land on the moon's surface  in mid-December, a spokesman for the China's State Administration of  Science, Technology and Industry for National Defence told Xinhua.<a href="http://edition.cnn.com/2013/12/01/world/asia/china-lunar-probe/index.html?hpt=hp_t3" target="_blank">http://edition.cnn.com/2013/12/01/world/asia/china-lunar-probe/index.html?hpt=hp_t3</a>Fucking yellow crap- should've been all nuked.</blockquote>
