This is Chinas second lunar probe and the first one was launched in the year of 2007. This craft that was launched in 2007 stayed in space for 16 months before it was intentionally crashed on the moons surface. China has launched this rocket to see if there goal can be met like putting humans on the lunar body.

Eric Carpio 9/23/10 Ahmadinejad UN speech sparks walk-outs
23 September 2010
Website: BBC News and Link: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-11402101
This article is about the speech that the president of Iran has said in the UN diplomatic marathon at its New York headquarters. One thing that the president of Iran said in the speech is that one of the September 11 attack v point is that it was carried out by a terrorist boo and that the American government supported and took advantage of the situation.
The president of Iran said that would host a conference on terrorism next year and that 2011 should be the year of the nuclear disarmament. He also said that there were members of the UN Security Council that had equal nuclear energy with nuclear bombs. Mark Kornblau that is the spokesman for the US mission at the United Nation responded to the speech of the president if Iran and told the AFP news agency that instead of representing the goodwill of the Iranian people Mr. Ahmadinejad has chosen again to spout vile conspiracy theories.
The reason that I have decided to share this piece of news instead of another is because when I read the headline of the article it sounded really interesting to read about I say this because an Iranian presidents speech sparks and it had to be something very important to spark.
The way that this article is related to the current unit we are studying in class is that the attack that the president of Iran is talking about affected a lot the civilization of New York and we were recently talking about civilization in class.
