Google translator Sucks.
It mixes Mandarin and Cantonese Chinese and tries to translate to English.
My wife is at work, so I had our daughter translate the article.
Yes, My daughter and wife are both Chinese and their primary language is Mandarin Chinese.
The news article is stating the fact that China did get a picture of an area on the moon that NASA had photographed and tried to photo brush out. Well Guess What, China is not covering up the picture, but have not said what is in the picture, they are showing the NASA picture.
I don't have an answer for you about what they photographed, no one is saying yet.
They are showing the same photo NASA took, you're not seeing Chinas picture, but I gather their is something there of great interest and the Chinese Government is not talking to much about it except, they'd like to (open) investigate further.
They are not releasing their real pictures yet either. So, I can't tell you what is in the picture, but I can tell you this,,,,,,, You think America and NASA Hides the Truth and Lies,,,, You haven't lived in China,,, They are Masters at hiding the truth and lying,,, They'll try and embarrass America with some pictures and try to convince you their camera is better, but won't ever tell you the truth of whats in their picture.edit on 11-11-2010 by guohua because: spell check
Going to the moon is not very difficult.They made voyages to the moon without even a computer on board.They were basically in aluminum foil crafts.

"Constellation Services International, Inc. (CSI) is an entrepreneurial orbital human space flight services company that is currently focused on cargo logistics to low Earth orbit (LEO) space stations. CSI is developing the LEO Express (SM) Space Cargo System, an innovative, patented method for re-supplying space stations using existing technology."
* Would some wealthy individual be willing to pay (enough) to provide a premier space adventure -- first an initial weeklong stay at ISS, and then a weeklong trip around the Moon like Apollo 8 or 10? What is it worth to be the first private citizen, ever, to see an "Earth Rise"?
* Would another nation be willing to pay for the second seat, and to send their first citizen ever around the Moon?
* What are the branding opportunities?
Also, our concept has received coverage in the media:
* "Soyuz Tourist Trips to the Moon?," Space.com Astronotes, 27 July 2004
* "Soyuz to the Moon?," The Space Review, 2 August 2004
* "Soyuz Will Fly to the Moon," The Komsomol’skaya Pravda, 9 August 2004
* "A trip around the moon? It could happen," Special to MSNBC, 23 November 2004
* "Tourists around the Moon (Des touristes autour de la Lune)," ESpace magazine, March/April 2005

Call it digital clock is wanting to make fun of something that nobody can prove as natural formation.
NASA = Erase tapes of the moon landing. "accidentally".
I sense that you are not joking, but are very misinformed, based on these:
Perhaps you also missed the thread that discussed that image. I will try to find the link for you. Mean time, (pun? Ha Ha ) the actual truth about that image, short version, was an artifact of digital com-positing.
NO, there were some telemetry tapes...many of them, amounting to miles and miles worth, that were RE-used...taped over, as the recorded data had already been captured into hard form, printed on paper. THOSE records (the print-outs) were misplaced, for long time...poor record-keeping resulted in that. They really weren't all that important, except decades later, as fodder for Apollo "Hoax Believers" (HBs). Of course, they have, in the long view, certain historical significance....significance that, in 1969-1972, probably wasn't thought about, at that time. They had bigger fish to fry.
People who make history sometimes are too busy to realize they are making history!! Later on, people (scholars, researches) take a keen interest, and delve into these arcane details, for posterity.....

well, there's an exceptional object on earth that could easily pass for the object being blotted out....
the first thing i thought of when I saw this larger image was the Sphinx
That image looks like a giant statue of an Angel that has fallen over. I see (unblurred) the head and the double wing tips. Toward the right side looks like a round octagonal or base of the statue. Perhaps they didn't blur the head/wings tips because they look like craters?

Yes, i agree, they made history deleting and re-using so sensible material as the first moon walk.
