China's Chang'e-6 Returns with Historic Lunar Samples and Flag from Moon's Far Side

China's uncrewed Chang’e-6 probe is returning to Earth with the first samples from the far side of the moon, marking a significant milestone for China's space program. The probe landed in the South Pole-Aitken basin, collected rock and soil samples, and successfully lifted off to begin its journey back. This mission could provide unprecedented insights into the moon's formation and evolution, and the scientific community is eager to study the samples. The mission still faces critical stages, including docking with the lunar orbiter and re-entry to Earth.
