TL;DR Summary

China's Chang'e-6 probe has successfully lifted off from the far side of the moon, marking a significant step towards becoming the first country to return samples from this region. The probe, which faced the challenge of operating without direct communication with Earth, used a relay satellite for contact and collected lunar soil samples. The samples are expected to land in China's Inner Mongolia region around June 25, potentially providing valuable insights into the origins of the solar system.
