Xinhua, the state news outlet for the People's Republic, is reporting that "The science experimental satellite China put into orbit on Nov. 3 returned to earth and landed in Sichuan Province, southwest China, at 10:04 a.m. (Beijing time) on Friday." This on the same day that Aljazeera is reporting about two US space probes heading to Mars. Embarrasing it would be if China sent a man to Mars before we did.
