China launches lunar probe to take samples from far side of the moon

FOX News

Former National Security Adviser Robert O'Brien joins'Life, Liberty & Levin' to discuss the Biden administration's foreign policy in the Middle East. China on Friday launched a lunar probe to land on the far side of the moon and return with samples that could provide insights into differences between the less-explored region and the better-known near side. It is the latest advance in China's increasingly sophisticated space exploration program, which is now competing with the U.S., still the leader in space. China also has a three-member crew on its own orbiting space station and aims to put astronauts on the moon by 2030. Three Chinese lunar probe missions are planned over the next four years.
