"We would like to survey every inch of the moon's surface," Ouyang Ziyuan, chief scientist of the China's moon exploration project, was quoted as saying on the website of Chinese News Service.

Ouyang, speaking at a conference in southwestern China this week, said China's lunar exploration programme was divided into three phases: orbiting the moon, landing on the lunar surface and coming back to Earth with samples.

The dark side surveying is being done using cats.  After all we all know how well cats see in the dark.

Now all we need to do is figure out how they're going to breathe.

They will use the cats supreme ability to ignore things they don't wish to pay attention to.  They will simply ignore the lack of air.

If I remember rightly, all the Chinese need to do is have the whole population of the country stand on each other's shoulders and the top most guy chissel pieces off of the  moon.

Erm....... The DARk Side of the Moon is in sunlight when the side facing us is in darkness. It is like this for 15 days or so a month.

Cats are just too stupid to use. Anyway Cats only dig holes for one reason only and that is to crap in someone elses' garden.

To put a Cat up there and then make it dig survey holes first they need to plant flower bes or a vegetable garen, belonging to someone othr than the owner of the Cat, at all theplaces that they want surveying. This would negate the reason for sending the Cats in the firstplace as the gardener could survey the MOon himslef.

The Klingons have many ways to fry a cat. I prefer to use an L7 Fast Battlecruiser!!

In case you are not aware of it.  Punisher is not exactly our most serious poster.  He can be, but not too often.

The Irish Space Agency plans to top China by landing an Irishman on the Sun.

The Irish plan to do this at night.

I wouldn't go surveying the Dark Side of the Moon. Anyone whose watched movies know the Dark Side of the Moon has the gate to Hell, evil parasite aliens just waiting to lure you to your gruesome doom, and is the site where the evil MoonNazis lead by CyberHitler lie cryogenically frozen at Castle Wolfenstein just waiting for some foolish adventurer to stumble across them and then they shall have their FINAL REVENGE! DUH! DUT! DUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!

So long as they don't build there space ship as badly as they do their motorcycles then they'll be OK.

It doesn't matter how well they build their ship. It will be brought down by the aliens' disabler beams and then the demons will come and kill most of the crew. The ship will crash into Castle Wolfenstein and the only one left alive will be a plucky Marine armed with a pistol... AT FIRST!
