Default Congratualations to China on moon probe launch

Just wanted to say congratulations to China on what seems like a
successful launch of the chang'e 2 lunar orbiter.

Should be some interesting data given its camera has a resolution on 1
meter and all for a total mission cost of 134 million US dollars.

After it's been in lunar orbit a while, they are going to lower its
orbit to a perigee of only 15 km.
