Interesting how in the USA it is completely unreported.

Briefly checking, I see it on the front page of cnn.com, foxnews.com, and nytimes.com. Interesting value of "completely unreported", there.

The Soviets put a rover on the moon 40 years ago. What exactly is front page material about China doing it now?

However, it is being reported in the US. CNN has it, ABCNews has it, it's the big headline on Drudge, The Washington Post has it as one of their top world headlines. Every major media source will have it under their 'latest' section in the coming hours.

Science. 40 years is a long time for advances in the capabilities of the probes and experiments.
