China's lunar probe lands on moon

I recently read an article about China's first lunar probe landing on the moon in a controlled collision on Sunday. This marks the first phase in China's three stage moon mission, in which the probe will collect mineral samples in 2012. China is only the third nation in the world to do such a thing, the other two being the United States and Russia. I think that this is a great forward step for the country of China and I am very happy for the people and their government.

    Where can we gather more information on this article? Did it discuss why it's taken China so long to get into the space race? Why do you think this is a great step forward for the country of China?
