IcubeQ(Siyuan-2)

The IcubeQ(Siyuan2) is jointly developed by both China and Pakistan. So, it would be better to include both their names in the statement. Please, give your opinion and suggestions related to it. 2402:8100:2735:2F2B:5CED:32F0:B269:6D80 (talk) 16:25, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

How will the sample be returned?

The article discusses the collection of lunar samples and explains they were launched into lunar orbit but it doesn’t explain how they will be collected from orbit and returned to earth? Does anyone have reliable sources on how that is planned that can be added to the article? 2600:1700:975E:E000:80F:7E2:C0C2:2E79 (talk) 08:36, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong Category: Low-importance Astronomy articles

I suggest, the category low-importance astronomy articles should be removed. It's the first time in human history with a sample return from the backside of the moon. A sample return from this unexplored area is a potential threat and could be an offense against planetary protection. So - it is likely a high-importance astronomy article. -- 80.146.191.213 (talk) 12:17, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I generally agree with your historic significance reasoning, but might be better to wait a bit. I was actually about to ask on the Talk page whether it's necessary to mention to readers in the lead or as an extra chapter about the potential importance of a mission to retrieve far side samples. Such a mission could potentially answer key questions about the origin of the Moon and the solar system, and confirm or debunk longstanding theories.

[1][2] While nobody can predict the future, the mission could lead to significant scientific discoveries, or it might not. So, I'm unsure if it's appropriate to mention potential findings while it's still an ongoing story. Perhaps it's best to wait and see what scientists learn, which is just a matter of time. If major discoveries and breakthroughs are made from the samples, there would be every reason to highlight its importance, given its profound impact on the history of astronomy.[3] 49.179.73.15 (talk) 11:38, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
