      What can you add to the moon to make it lighter?

    Hmm, how much mass would a manned mission have?

      As amusing as the idea is, I doubt China would launch a manned mission and not tell anyone.

        Maybe they wanted to announce it after a successful landing?

    China: “should we tell anyone that we crashed? No no, it was a secret payload that touched down!”
