From Henri Kenhmann

The CZ-5B Y2 rocket, which will be used in the launch of the core module of China's 1st Space Station this year, arrived at the Wenchang Space Center today.

PS, I heard you have lots of straws.

End off-topic post.

of the container.

Height: 38.44cm, which symbolizes the average distance between planet Earth and the moon of 384,400km.
Width: 22.89cm, which symbolizes the mission duration of Chang'e-5 from launch to return.

The hollow sphere containing the sample represents the moon. Toward the base of the container, there is a map of planet Earth. The distance between the hollow sphere and the map is 9.9cm, which is a clever play on an
