Martian rover noise sounds like autobot transformation sound effect.

The more interesting thing is we don't see this kind of phenomenon on Earth. Here on Earth we simply see the Sun reducing in brightness changing to orange or red color before disappearing below the horizon.
Yes. That's likely because of the refraction of the atmosphere.Mars has relatively thin one and therefore nothing like the color changing spectacle dawn and dusk.
Sunrise and sunset on Mars appears to be blue due to the dust scattering.
Sometimes you can also see a blue sun on earth in a dust storm.
Mars polar lander of 1999 had a microphone to record surface sounds on Mars. The probe crashed during landing.
The microphone on the Polar lander was not one of the priority instruments for mars science team to replace in a subsequent lander, so it it didn’t get replaced until 20 years later.
I was referring to the 2nd phase moon landing in the road-map laid out around 2010 in Long Lehao's paper and another paper by 8th institute in 2009. I was wondering if that date still stands, or the plan has changed.
Two CZ-5DY moon landing before 2030 was called phase I. I never really believed it being serious by CNSA, so it isn't the concern here (not mine at least).
That is also my understanding.
Highly doubt. The size of a single ILRS module has to be similar to CSS that is 20 to 25t to be able to accommodate 3 people which is a minimum crew. To put 25t on the moon surface in one piece, the LTO(TLI) capacity is at least 50t which translate to a mass of around 150t in LEO. "multiple launch and LEO assembly" was actually considered by CNSA a decade ago, but was killed for its high risk of mission failure (and long time orbit fuel storage). Both CNSA and NASA are now pursuing moon orbit rendezvous. So it is highly unlikely that CNSA will bring back this dead idea when there is no recent solution of the problems that they unticipated.

China release new image from Mars
The China National Space Administration (CNSA) on Sunday released new photos and videos captured by China's Mars probe Tianwen-1 during the country's first landing and roving exploration on the red planet.

It's worthwhile to notch up milestones regarding the technologies nations deploy in their mars Probes.
But it's also important to note that neither China or USA has explored the limits regarding the technologies that can be deployed in mars. Both are hamstrung by the peanuts allocated in funding.
Hope that they find hydrocarbons in Mars.

Hydrocarbons? Mars isn't the place. Titan. Titan's the place. Literally seas of methane and ethane and hydrocarbon rain and snow.
You kinda need oxygen to burn hydrocarbon and there isn’t that much of it on Mars. Either way, it is not economical to transport goods between Mars and Earth unless there is a breakthrough in propulsion technology.
