Successfully stepped on the "first foot brake" in recent months! The Chang'e-6 probe, which was successfully launched on May 3, 2024, successfully entered the orbit around the moon under the control of the Beijing Space Center on May 8.
The Chang'e-6 lunar landing will carry out the first human mission to sample the far side of the moon, and India, which struggled to become the first in the world to land on the south pole of the moon last year, could not sit still for a moment after learning about it.
There is no doubt that in the face of this China-led mission to the moon, India's self-proclaimed "lunar superpower" will eventually be lost.
Most crucially, China also brought Pakistan with it on the lunar mission, which frustrated India, which has always looked down on Pakistan.
Some sober Indian netizens said: Without the support of foreign technology, India has no chance of winning!
China's moon landing brought Pakistan, and India broke its defenses again
Source: CCTV News 2024-05-03 Report on "Landing on the Moon with an International Carrying Project About 50 international friends will witness the launch of Chang'e-6".
On May 3, the China National Space Administration, 12 national space agencies including Pakistan and France, as well as international organizations such as the United Nations and ESA, witnessed the launch of Chang'e-6 in Haikou, China.
This time the mission to the moon is very different from the past, and even the authoritative American media CNN bluntly said: China's Chang'e-6 mission is "China's most complex mission to the moon so far"!
The reason for such a view is that the continent's moon landing will complete the feat of human sampling on the far side of the moon for the first time, which is absolutely epoch-making in the entire history of human spaceflight.
Many countries have sent their blessings to the mainland's lunar landing program, but there are also some "yin and yang" voices, including India, which has always wanted to wrestle with the mainland in the international community.
However, India did not dare to confront our space power, but aimed the spearhead at Pakistan, and saw that even Pakistan followed China to realize the dream of landing on the moon, India completely broke its defense.
In particular, many Indian media began to frantically criticize Pakistan, in India's eyes, the Chang'e-6 landing on the moon is a victory for China, and has nothing to do with Pakistan, without which Pakistan is nothing.
India's "sour" mentality is undoubtedly very wrong, because although the Chang'e-6 moon landing program did carry Pakistan's satellite, Pakistan also contributed a lot to it.
You must know that the Chang'e-6 lunar landing program was not completed by China alone, but was led by China and cooperated with other countries around the world, including Pakistan.
For example, Pakistan's ICUBE-Q lunar cube satellite carried by Chang'e-6 was jointly developed by Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Pakistan Institute of Space Technology, and Pakistan Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission over a period of two years.
Therefore, in this lunar landing program, Pakistan is definitely not a useless person who has no dedication and is just a "free rider" relying on China-Pakistan friendship in the mouth of India.
Of course, in addition to Pakistan, there are many other countries that have contributed to Chang'e-6.
For example, Chang'e-6 is also equipped with a French lunar radon detector, an Italian laser corner reflector and ESA's lunar surface negative ion analyzer.
Regarding the mainland's first lunar landing program to take samples from the far side of the moon, ESA executives have bluntly said that at this critical moment, the political differences between China and Europe should be abandoned, and the most important thing is to work together to help all mankind explore the moon.
In this regard, science should indeed be done without borders, which is why the mainland invited 12 countries, including Pakistan, to visit this historic scene on the day of the launch of Chang'e-6.
I don't know if it's because it wasn't invited by China, but India, which boasts of being a "super star on the moon", is obviously a little bit broken.
In fact, since India's "Luna 3" successfully landed on the moon in 2023 after going through thousands of tribulations, India, which has become the fourth country in the world to successfully land on the moon, has once expanded without bounds.

Even many Indian media claim that India's space technology has surpassed China, and Indian Prime Minister Modi has even threatened to build a space station that belongs to India in 2035 and achieve a manned landing on the moon in 2040......
You must know that there has always been the shadow of the United States behind India's space development, could it be that India, which has made such wild statements, has really made a breakthrough in the field of space technology?

What is India's space technology really like?
In fact, from a certain point of view, India's start in manned spaceflight is much earlier than China's, as early as the 80s of the last century, the Indians have already flown into space, although they only took a "free ride".
In 1984, Indian astronaut Sharma went to the "Salyut VII" space station by carrying the Soviet Union's "Soyuz" spacecraft for nearly eight days.
This is why India has had an almost paranoid desire for manned space technology over the years, and it is also why India "looks down" on Pakistan.
However, despite India's early start in the field of manned spaceflight, the process of achieving this goal has been unusually bumpy.
Following the mainland's successful manned space flight in 2003, India also launched its manned space program, with plans to launch its first manned space launch in 2014.
However, due to various reasons, the plan has been delayed again and again, and it is not until this year that India has just completed the unmanned flight test experiment, and now India has said that it will send three astronauts into space in 2025.
However, Modi has asked the Indian Space Research Organization to build an Indian space station in 2035 and a manned lunar landing program by 2040.
You must know that in the field of space stations, only China currently has an independent space station, and if the International Space Station is really retired this year, then China will become the only country in the world that has a space station.
In terms of manned lunar landing, the world currently only needs the United States to achieve this goal, but even the United States has passed more than half a century since the last manned lunar landing, and even many people suspect that the United States no longer has the technology to land a manned lunar landing.
This shows how arrogant India's plan to "build a space station in 2035 and a manned landing on the moon in 2040" is.
In fact, India's space technology is not backward, but there are obvious shortcomings, at most it is in the second echelon, and India still has a long way to catch up with China.
At present, in the field of space technology, only China, the United States, and Russia belong to the first echelon, Europe, Japan, and India can only rank in the second echelon, and the rest of the countries are much behind.
Therefore, the successful launch of Pakistan's satellite this time is indeed inseparable from the help of the mainland's Chang'e-6.
Therefore, shortly after the launch of Chang'e-6, Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Shehbaz sent his most sincere wishes to China, saying that the friendship between China and Pakistan is higher than the mountains, deeper than the sea, and sweeter than honey, and the friendship between the two countries has crossed the boundary of space today.
The Chang'e-6 lunar landing program, led by China, will serve as a good example for countries and organizations around the world to work together in space and share benefits.
