They will blow up the bit where the moon landings were supposed to take place, so that when the Chinese REALLY land on the moon they can explain away why there is **** all there
You've interpreted it to mean a wider choice of landing sites, it doesn't say that Also, they could land a craft on the moon 40 years ago when nobody had even been to the moon but now they have to spend a year looking for somewhere to park!!!!
You have completely missed the point of that part of the article. The better the detailed information of the moon's surface, the better the choice of landing sites which they know to be safe for a landing. Its not rocket science!
The original landing was particularly uncertain from that point of view, especially as he had to land in a different spot to the intended one.
