Congratulations.

Quite impressive from China considering they're doing most of what the US managed achieve in over half-a-century, but China on their first landing.

That selfie is just pure show off.

Zhurong has already traveled 80 meters on the Martian surface.

Very impressive!

The speed at which China is advancing into space frontier, may leave US in the dust soon.

They left China out of the international space station, China created its own! Nothing but respect.

The rover has a detachable camera at the bottom. The camera is put to the ground for taking this picture.

Very good thinking simple but effective . Looks good and cute

curiosity is monster

It's crazy to think that curiosity has been operating for over 9 years now. Soon 10 years. Amazing

Flurry of photos capture China’s Zhurong rover on surface of Mars

Aerial images boast a level of detail that could help the rover navigate to features of scientific interest.
