The Chang'e- 5 mission to return samples of soil and rocks from the Moon is under way, following its launch on a Long March 5B heavy lift rocket. This sample return mission is the final and most complex of the six missions in the lunar exploration program that Chinese scientists developed 20 years ago.
The scientists are able to carry out programs over decades because they are a key part of the economic fabric of Chinese society, particularly with the present orientation toward an innovation-driven economy.
Chang'e-1 and 2 were each single-spacecraft, which orbited the Moon. Their job was to provide scientists with photographs of the surface to be used in future missions to choose suitable landing spots.
Chang'e-3 was followed by children as well as by adults, especially curious about the exploits of the rover Yutu. Chang'e-4 for the first time in history landed on the far side of the Moon. A relay satellite was needed to allow communication between Chang'e-4 and Earth.
继长征5B重型运载火箭发射后，嫦娥五号从月球带回土壤和岩石样本的任务正在进行中。这次样本带回任务是中国科学家20年前开发的探月计划中六个任务中的最后一个，也是最复杂的一个。
科学家们能够在几十年的时间里执行项目，是因为他们是中国社会经济结构的关键组成部分，特别是在目前的创新驱动型经济的背景下。
嫦娥一号和嫦娥二号都是绕月飞行的单航天器。他们的工作是为科学家提供月球表面的照片，以便在未来的任务中选择合适的着陆点。
嫦娥三号被儿童和成年人所关注，他们对“玉兔”号月球车的表现尤为好奇。嫦娥四号在历史上首次登陆月球背面。需要一个中继卫星来实现嫦娥四号与地球之间的通信。

Chang'e-5 is still more complex. There will also be a few locations where a drill will go down deeper and retrieve soil. Ye Peijian, the chief designer of Chang'e-1, notes:
"Chang'e-5 will also carry a drilling machine to get Moon rock from a depth of 2 meters underground."
The biggest challenge in the mission is to bring back the samples to Earth. To do this requires four vehicles, a service module, a return vehicle, the lander, and the ascent vehicle. The Chang'e-5 orbiter carries the collection hardware and the return vehicle. After the robotic lunar lander collects samples, they are placed in an ascent vehicle which will launch from the lunar surface and must rendezvous and dock with the orbiter. No other sample return mission by the Soviet unx did any robotic rendezvous and docking. This requires highly precise timing. If the orbiter or the ascent vehicle were off by a small amount, they would miss rendezvous with the orbiter. When the orbiter gets close to the Earth, the capsule with the samples will be released to land in the same region where the Shenzhou astronauts land.
When the samples come back they will undergo thorough study. Lunar soil is formed by the lunar rock which has been weathered by meteorite impact, solar wind bombardment and cosmic ray radiation. By studying these lunar soil materials, scientists can not only understand the geological evolution of the Moon, but will also provide them with greater understanding of solar activities.
嫦娥五号更加复杂。也会有一些地方，钻头会往下钻得更深，回收月壤。嫦娥一号总设计师叶培建说：
“嫦娥五号还将携带一台钻机，从地下2米深处获取月球岩石。”
这次任务中最大的挑战是将这些样本带回地球。这需要四个飞行器，一个服务舱，一个返回飞行器，着陆器和上升飞行器。嫦娥五号轨道飞行器携带收集设备和返回器。在机器人登月舱收集样本后，它们将被放入从月球表面发射的上升飞行器中，并必须与轨道飞行器会合和对接。苏联的其他样本返回任务中没有机器人进行过交会对接。这需要非常精确的时间掌控。如果轨道飞行器或上升飞行器有一点偏离，它们就会错过与轨道飞行器的会合。当轨道飞行器接近地球时，携带样本的太空舱将被释放并降落在此前神舟宇航员着陆的同一地区。
样品回来后将进行彻底的研究。月球土壤是由月球岩石风化陨石撞击，太阳风轰击和宇宙射线辐射形成的。通过研究这些月球土壤物质，科学家们不仅可以了解月球的地质演变，而且可以更好地了解太阳活动。

According to this news analysis, one of the guests by the name of Bryan Preston stated that Chinese space mission poses a threat to U.S. national security and interest and that private companies like Space X should keep the U.S. ahead of China in terms of space exploration and colonization. Preston believes that the U.S. should be the top of space programs and wants to keep China at bay.
根据这则新闻分析（译注：链接），其中一位名叫Bryan Preston的评论员表示，中国的太空任务对美国的国家安全和利益构成了威胁，space X这样的私人公司应该让美国在太空探索和殖民化方面领先于中国。普雷斯顿认为，美国应该在太空计划中独占鳌头，并希望将中国拒之门外。

Anything that China does that is better or more advanced is a US security threat because it shows that it is not the superior all mighty country and god’s chosen race. Other countries will start to collaborate and associate with China and US will loss it's hegemony.
任何中国做得更好或更先进的事情都是对美国安全的威胁，因为这表明美国不是一个超级强大的国家，不是上帝选中的种族。其他国家将开始与中国合作，而美国将失去它的霸权。

In what universe is the US a “race”? It is, and always has been, a multi-racial, multi-ethnic country. Secondly, how can this mission prove that China is “more advanced” for landing a probe on the moon when the US landed actual people on the moon more than half a century ago? The US is focused on building the Lunar Gateway station and getting to Mars, and unfortunately it is not a government priority because NASA is underfunded. That’s why private companies have taken up the slack.
在哪个次元里，美国成了一个“种族”？它现在是，而且一直都是一个多种族、多民族的国家。其次，在半个多世纪前美国将真人送上月球的时候，这项任务怎么能证明中国在登陆月球探测器方面“更先进”？美国正专注于建造月球基地和登陆火星，但不幸的是，这并不是政府的优先考虑，因为美国宇航局资金不足。这就是私营企业填补空缺的原因。

while i see these claims from USA as publi threat to the entire human race. If USA stops advancement in science or slows down due to fund limitation and other disruptions, should the rest of the world stop?
而我认为这些来自美国的声明是对整个人类的公开威胁。如果美国因为资金限制和其他干扰而停止了科学的发展，难道世界其他国家就应该也停止吗？

Why can you tell that is a disgrace to NASA? Do you know how much cost NASA had to pay to bring more than 300 kilograms of moon soil from the Moon? Also 1 gram was only used as the symbol of the warming relation ship between US and China. They don’t have much scientific meaning.
你为什么认为这是美国宇航局的耻辱？你知道美国宇航局花了多少钱才从月球上带回300多公斤的月球土壤吗？此外，1克只是作为中美关系升温的象征。它们没有什么科学意义。

In your opinion, is it enough for China to give back 1 g of moon soil to the United States? After all, the U.S. sent 1g out of more than 300 kilograms, while China sent 1g out of two. In addition, the samples sent by the United States to other countries are large rocks, and a large number of samples flowing into the folk, is this not a waste of resources? Your answer is full of false double standards.
按照你的观点，中国向美国回赠1克月球土壤就足够了吗？毕竟，美国在300多公斤中只送了1克，而中国在两公斤中就送了1克。另外，美国寄往其他国家的样品都是大石头，而且大量的样品流入了民间，这不是一种资源的浪费吗？你的回答充满了错误的双重标准。

China can give back more than 1 g of moon soil back to US if she want. China don’t need to share moon soil if she want because that is her right. As I said, the moon soil that US gave to China is just a gift for the relationship. Waste of resource? Do you now see any pratical application of space exploration to our own daily lives?(I’m not talking about the GPS ) Space exploration is always expensive, and now what we benefit from it is just a tremendous of astronomical know-how. How can you expect to gain money from it?
如果中国愿意，她可以回赠超过1克的月球土壤给美国。中国不需要分享月球土壤，如果她想的话，因为那是她的权利。就像我说的，美国赠送给中国的月球土壤只是两国关系的礼物。浪费资源？你现在看到太空探索在我们日常生活中的实际应用了吗？（我说的不是GPS）太空探索总是很昂贵，现在我们从中受益的只是大量的天文知识。你怎么能指望从中赚钱呢？

You answered your own question. The USA has a lot of samples (I doubt if it's literally “tons”). China doesn't. The USA doesn't give away its samples except tiny amounts to close friends. China wants its own samples to work with.
The second reason is prove that they can do it. China has made great strides recently, including putting a lander on the far side of the Moon, which nobody had done. Bringing back samples is another technical achievement. It means they can gather them up, take off from the surface, and get them home safely. It's a good precursor to landing people there, if they want to go that far.
你回答了你自己的问题。美国有很多样品（我怀疑它是不是真有“吨”）。中国没有。除了亲密的朋友，美国不会把它的样品送出去。中国希望利用自己的样品。
第二个原因是证明他们能做到。中国最近取得了巨大的进步，包括在月球背面发射了一个无人完成的着陆器。带回样品是另一项技术成就。这意味着他们可以将它们收集起来，从地面起飞，并将它们安全地带回家。这是让人们在那里着陆的一个很好的前兆，如果他们想要去那么远的话。

I am sceptical the the US has “tons of lunar soil and rock sample” maybe approaching a metric ton or thereabouts, and they aren’t just posting it out to anyone that asks.
If they do it is in tiny quantities, which makes research into things like Lunar construction methods challenging to say the least.
Besides, how big do you think the Moon is? Do you honestly think a sample taken from one place will be just like another taken elsewhere? The Moon is just like any other planet, it has a huge variety of different terrains and rock types. If you took a sample of soil and rock from your back garden it is likely to be different from another taken a few streets away.
So China is getting their own, from locations that appeal to them. Why would anyone want to stop them?
我怀疑美国有“成吨的月球土壤和岩石样本”，可能接近一公吨左右，而且他们不会送给任何有要求的人。
即使他们送了，数量也很微小，这就使得像月球建造基地这样的研究具有挑战性。
另外，你认为月亮有多大？你真的认为从一个地方采集的样本会和从其他地方采集的一样吗？月球和其他行星一样，它有各种各样不同的地形和岩石类型。如果你从你的后花园取一份土壤和岩石样本，它很可能与从几条街之外取的另一份样本不同。
因此，中国正在从吸引他们的地方获得自己的资源。为什么会有人想要阻止他们？

“The US have literal tons of lunar soil and rock samples. Why does China want or need the Chang'e 5 mission to return soil from the moon?”
Okay, 1) the US does NOT have “literal tons” of lunar material. They brought back 842 pounds, not even a single ton. There was only room for around 150–200 pounds or so of capacity on each Apollo capsule, and they only landed six times.
Second, due to certain actions taken by the Chinese government, the US has a policy to *not* cooperate with China at all in space exploration. This is why Chinese nationals are not allowed on the ISS, and why they have their own space station.
They spied on us, so they can’t HAVE any of our Moon rocks.
“美国已经有好多吨的月壤和岩石样本了。为什么中国还要发起嫦娥5号任务去月球自己带回月壤呢？”
好吧，1）美国没有“好多吨”的月球物质。他们带回了842磅，连一吨都不到。每个阿波罗太空舱只有150-200磅的空间，而且他们只登陆了6次。
第二，由于中国政府采取的某些行动，美国在太空探索方面根本不与中国合作。这就是为什么中国公民不允许进入国际空间站，为什么他们造自己的空间站的原因。
他们还暗中监视我们，所以他们不能得到我们的月球岩石。

When the Russians sent a man orbiting the Earth, why didn’t the U.S. cancel its manned space program? After all, the Russians had already done it.
For that matter, why did Vespucci sail across the Atlantic? After all, Columbus already had.
Seriously, there’s always more to learn. And the U.S. doesn’t just lend out lunar rocks and soil samples to everyone who wants them. China might want some of its own.
Also, it’s a matter of national pride for any country to make progress in space.
This all hopefully puts things in perspective.
当俄国人送出一个人绕地球飞行时，美国为什么不取消载人航天计划呢？毕竟，俄国人已经这么做了。
那么，为什么韦斯普奇还要横渡大西洋呢？毕竟，哥伦布已经做到了。
说真的，总有很多东西要学。美国不会把月球岩石和土壤样本借给每个想要的人。中国自己可能也想要一些。
而且，对于任何一个国家来说，在太空取得进展都是一种民族自豪感。
这一切都希望能让你正确看待问题。

Unlike others, I don’t obsess about anything but science. If one were to move to the moon, the ‘dark’ side of the moon might be where you get all your water and all the asteroid and material stuff that came from afar. The ‘bright’ side of the moon will have less of that since the earth is in the way and captures them.
I am talking about the side of the moon that the earth never sees, so, ‘dark’. No one else has been there. Science will learn something.
不像其他人，我对科学以外的任何事情都不感兴趣。如果有一颗小行星要飞到月球上去，月球的“暗”面可能是你获得水、小行星和来自远方的物质的地方。而月球“明亮”的那一面，由于地球的阻挡和捕获，这种能量会减少。
我说的是地球永远看不到的月球的那一面，所以是“暗”。没有其他人去过那里。科学将会有所收获。

Apollo astronauts brought back a total of about 832 pounds of lunar rocks and soil. Nothing like the “literal tons" that you referred to. (I think you meant to write, “literally tons.”) NASA has strict rules for sharing that precious cargo. China may not be on the access list . So, they're trying to get their own samples.
阿波罗号的宇航员总共带回了大约832磅的月球岩石和土壤。和你说的“吨”完全不同。（我觉得你想写的是，“海量的”）美国宇航局对于分享这些珍贵的货物有严格的规定。中国可能不在进入名单上。所以，他们想要得到自己的样本。

by looking at the question, it sounds like US is willing to generously share the lunar soil and rock samples with China.
Besides the technology strategy, getting on moon and getting sample back is extremely costly. you’d better take your own sample if you are interested in lunar research.
从这个问题来看，好像美国愿意慷慨地与中国分享月球土壤和岩石样本似的。
除了技术方面的策略，登上月球并取回样本的成本也极其高昂。如果你对月球研究感兴趣，那么最好自己挖样本。

Why Huawei develops their own Kirin chip, when they can use the Snapdragon from Qualcomm? Because US can stop selling to Huawei with any excuse.
Why you still working hard to earn money, when their are billionaires around you? Because you are not billionaire, you have nothing in the pocket.
为什么华为可以用高通的骁龙，自己还要开发麒麟芯片？因为美国可以以任何借口停止向华为销售产品。
既然身边都是亿万富翁，你为什么还在努力赚钱？因为你不是亿万富翁，你口袋里什么都没有。
