It’s a place where mankind has yet to set foot but has yearned to explore: the far side of the moon. In 2024, the Chang’e-6 mission is set to make history by attempting the impossible—retrieving the first-ever lunar samples from the moon’s far side.
Delving into this ambitious endeavor, the 4K documentary “Back to the Far Side” offers an in-depth look into the dreams, struggles, and triumphs of the Chang’e-6 mission. This cinematic journey showcases how international cooperation and cutting-edge science are pushing the boundaries of modern-day space exploration.
The far side of the moon, often referred to as the “dark side,” has remained a mystery, untouched and unseen by humans. The Chang’e-6 mission aims to change that by collecting samples that could unlock secrets about the moon’s formation and, by extension, the history of our solar system.
“Back to the Far Side” highlights the collaboration between scientists, engineers, and international partners who are uniting to overcome the immense challenges posed by this mission. From the complexities of landing on the rugged lunar surface to the technological innovations required to return samples to Earth, the documentary captures the human spirit of exploration and discovery.
The documentary is presented by CGTN and the News Center of the China National Space Administration, offering viewers unprecedented access to the mission’s development and the people behind it. As the world watches, Chang’e-6 promises to be a landmark in space exploration, inspiring future generations to look beyond and reach for the stars.
