BBC World Service - Weekend, China says its probe has landed on Moon's far side

The far side of the moon is an unexplored place, that almost no-one tries to reach

The far side of the moon is an unexplored place, that almost no-one tries to reach.

The China National Space Administration says its Chang'e 6 mission has successfully touched down on the far side of the Moon, which is an unexplored place that almost no-one tries to reach.

Also today: Mexico holds a historic election as an unprecedented 100m people head to the polls; and we hear about a South-Korean contest aiming to spread the art of doing nothing.

Today’s guests are Michael Peel, science editor of the Financial Times, and Julie Norman, associate professor of politics and international relations at University College London.
