Why Chinese Chang Er 4 want to land on the far side of the moon ?

-------------------------------------------------------

answers:
Tom S say: It is a machine which was sent there, it does not "want" anything.
-
tham153 say: They landed in the Moon's largest, deepest crater, the Aitken South Polar Bain. Possible geological evidence from beneath mantle
-
Ronald 7 say: For the record
And as a scout for Future missions
-
Robert say: Because they want to claim ownership of the dark side.
-
Bill-M say: Never been done before. Something new.
-
poldi2 say: There has never been a lander/rover on the far side of the moon, so it is unexplored territory and therefore a first for China.
-
quantumclaustrophobe say: Mostly because it's never been done... it's a new 'first' that China gets to claim.
-
Nyx say: It's basically the same thing as you asking that question.
Curiosity
-
derfram say: Why do you turn on a light when you enter a dark room? To see what is there!
-
Raymond say: Desire to do something nobody else has done before.
To show that it is possible (and that they can do it).
Great practice for landing in semi-automatic mode (no direct communication with Earth)
New, unexplored territory.
-
say: Why not?
