- threelettered 13y agoInteresting how in the USA it is completely unreported.
- adventured 13y agoThe Soviets put a rover on the moon 40 years ago. What exactly is front page material about China doing it now? However, it is being reported in the US. CNN has it, ABCNews has it, it's the big headline on Drudge, The Washington Post has it as one of their top world headlines. Every major media source will have it under their 'latest' section in the coming hours.
