Subject: [meteorite-list] Chang's Moon
Here's the first public photo from China's first Moon orbiter launched
last month.

Not bad for the Chang'e ship (apparently pronounced "Ch-ong-er" after the
snooping woman in her husband's personal items, who feared being caught,
ate the evidence (her husband's vitamin herb) and fled in to the Moon with
her rabbit that now manufacture herbal remedies).
By the time we see manned voyages back to the Moon, a thriving business in
Chinese restaurants will be serving travelers take-out.
The Chinese do have a sense of humor. Curiously, Apollo 11 (Armstrong,
Collins, Aldrin, 1969) and Houston joked about this Chinese legend upon
arriving by the Moon in what was to become the first Moonwalk, and now
China has contending for the last laugh,
Mission Control: "...Chinese girl called Chang-o has been living there for
4000 years. It seems she was banished to the moon because she stole the
pill for immortality from her husband. You might also look for her
companion, a large Chinese rabbit, who is easy to spot since he is only
standing on his hind feet in the shade of a cinnamon tree. The name of the
rabbit is not recorded."
Michael Collins: "OK we'll keep a close eye for the bunny-girl."
Best Wishes,
Doug
