Chinese state television released video of the Chang'e-3 space probe landing on the Moon. The 140-kilogramme (300-pound) rover on board the probe separated from the much larger landing vehicle early on Sunday, around seven hours after the Chang'e 3 had touched down on a fairly flat, Earth-facing part of the moon. The event marks the first soft-landing on the moon in three decades, joining the USA and former USSR in achieving the feat.-rt.com
