Re: China Launches First Lunar Probe

Is it just me or Western media just don't give a damn about China's moonshot? Hell, barely two months ago, the whole mediascape was abuzz for weeks with Russia's sticking of a flag into the Arctic seabed...(*) A somewhat bathetic diversion from the USSR's Sputnik landmark in 1957.

Why the snub? Will our brave media ever tell us when Chinese taikonauts will land on Mars?
