The Commissioner of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense revealed a list of 30 tunes that China will broadcast to the Earth from the Moon next year when its Satellite "Chang'e" begins a yearlong orbit of our lunar friend.
The songs were chosen by public vote and a panel of experts with a tune for expressing Chinese people's lover for the motherland, for life, peace, truth and nature.
The number one vote getter was "My Wonderful Hometown." The two immediate runners up were "I Love China" and "Singing Praises of Motherland."
Some 'expert' also chose the China's national anthem - the tribute to Mao "The East is Red."
When Russia and the US raced to the moon, the emphasis was on who could get there first and stake a claim to the cheese. The Chinese, however, are heading there for a year to take 3D images, analyze the moon's elements and probe the soil and space between Earth and the smaller light - while the stereo is playing in the background.
Good job, China.
