China’s Chang’e-6 lunar probe has returned with the first samples from the Moon’s far side, landing in Inner Mongolia after a 53-day mission. The mission, which began in May, successfully retrieved soil and rock samples from a crater near the Moon’s south pole. These samples could provide crucial insights into the Moon's formation and geological differences. President Xi Jinping praised the mission, highlighting its role in advancing space exploration. This marks China's sixth lunar mission and emphasizes its growing capabilities in space, as the nation aims for a crewed lunar landing by 2030.
