Series of markets on Chang'e (Chinese lunar exploration program)
Post Body

Two phases of the program have already passed, and the third phase, pertaining to a sample return, are under heavy preparations.

(There are many markets that can be created based on a single mission: successful rocket lift-off / payload separation / landing / sample collection / sample return... Might not want so many, in fact!)

I don't think this topic is of interest to mainstream betting services, so it showcases one of Augur's strengths: namely, the creation of niche markets.

(The existing markets on the USA Mars exploration missions show that these would probably have little volume. Nevertheless, that's still some!)

However, there's an issue: I don't know Chinese, so wouldn't know sources that would be (not just "reputable", but also) "authoritative". Even if I personally did, this could probably still be an issue during resolution phase...


Basically, two questions:

  • Do you happen to know if CNSA have an English PR page, especially in relation to the Chang'e program?
  • Thoughts on an alternative resolution source? https://www.space.com/search?q=chang'e probably wouldn't cut it.

Any other thoughts are also welcome. :)
