- ChuckMcM 5y agoProbably true. Even so, I found it remarkable that the very first thing the Lunar lander that China sent to the moon did was send a picture of the place where it landed. Same with the second one that had a rover. And yet the Mars one, more than 24 hours later, hasn't produced a single image? What makes this story even weirder is if the Chinese are lying about the successful landing, why? And how would they walk that back when no further data came from the rover? In about 4 days it looks like HiRISE will be in a good position to image the landing area where they landed and so we will get a picture, one way or another.
