China's first lunar probe landed on the moon in a controlled collision, this was the first phase of that nation's three-stage moon mission. The second stage involved sending a second probe to practice soft landings.
The mission will culminate with the launch and landing of a rover on the moon to collect mineral samples in 2012. The probe -- Chang'e-1, named after a legendary moon goddess -- launched into space on October 24, 2007.

Why is the lunar module made from aluminium?
For a successful lunar mission, weight had to be kept to a minimum. The lunar module was designed to be as lightweight as possible--using aluminum for structural support instead of the heavier steel alloys. Since the moon has only 1/6th the gravity as Earth, a lunar module would be very flimsy on Earth's surface, maybe not even able to support itself. But on the moon, it was more than strong enough to accomplish its mission.
