China’s Chang’e 6 mission, which made an impressive touchdown on the far side of the moon this past weekend, has unfurled the country’s red and gold flag for the first time on the lunar surface before part of the vehicle blasted off early Tuesday with rock and soil samples to bring back to Earth.

China already has samples from the near side of the Moon as Chang'e-5 touched down there in 2020. The more rugged dark lunar hemisphere is considered a much harder feat because it is blocked from Earth’s view. It requires a communications satellite, in this case China’s Queqiao-2, to bounce messages back to Earth.
