The space race seems to be on yet again, and this time around it would be China who wants to make a statement. In fact, the country is all set to launch a probe to the moon this coming December 2nd, and the probe will be known as the Chang'e-3, as it takes off from Xichang. Xichang happens to be a Chinese launch center when it comes to satellites, and it has one hurdle to pass – to end up on the moon's surface a dozen days after taking off, which would be December 14th. The moment Chang'e-3 lands, the probe which will hold a rover within will start to make its way across the surface of the moon.
