China’s growing presence in space has been undeniable since the turn of the century. Between sending the first “taikonaut” to space in 2003 (Yang Liwei), launching the first Chinese robotic mission to the Moon (Chang’e-1) in 2007, and the deployment of their Tiangong space station between 2021-2022, China has emerged as a major power in space. Accordingly, they have bold plans for the future, like the proposed expansion of their Tiangong space station and the creation of the International Lunar Research Station (ILRS) by 2035. In their desire to become a space power that can rival NASA, China also has its sights on Mars. In addition to crewed missions that will culminate in a “permanent base,” they intend to conduct a sample-return mission in the near future. This will be performed by the Tianwen-3 mission, which is currently scheduled to launch in 2028 and return samples to Earth by 2031. In a recent article, the Tianwen-3 science team outlined their exploration strategy, including the methods used to retrieve the samples, the target locations, and how they’ll be analyzed for biosignatures that could indicate the presence of past life. Zengqian Hou was the article’s lead author, a geologist with the Deep Space Exploration Laboratory (DSEL) and the Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences (CAGS), and the mission team supervisor. His fellow team members included the mission’s chief designer, Liu Jizhong, and colleagues from the DSEL, the Lunar Exploration and Space Engineering Center, the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), and the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC). The article was recently published in the November edition of National Science Review. This image was taken by a small camera jettisoned from China’s Tianwen-1 spacecraft to photograph the spacecraft in orbit above the Martian north pole. Credit: CNSA/PEC This mission is the third in China’s Tianwen (Chinese for “questions to heaven”) exploration program. The previous mission (Tianwen-1) included an orbiter, a lander, and the Zhurong rover, which reached Mars in February 2021. The successful deployment of this mission made China the third nation (after the Soviet Union and the U.S.) to land on Mars. Highlights of the mission include the mapping of the entire Martian surface by the orbiter and the discovery of hydrated minerals by Zhurong, further confirming that Mars once had liquid water on its surface. News of this latest mission was first shared by Jizhong at the 2nd International Deep Space Exploration Conference, which took place from September 4th to 7th in Huangshan City, China. However, few details were shared at the time, though a concurrently published paper suggested that the mission could include a helicopter similar to NASA’s Ingenuity. According to the latest from Jizhong, the Tianwen-3 will consist of two launches sometime in 2028 using the Long March 5 (CZ-5) rocket. While one CZ-5 will send the orbiter/return vehicle, the second will send the lander/ascent vehicle. As Liu told the state-owned news agency Xinhua: “China has retrieved the first-ever samples from the far side of the moon with the Chang’e-6 mission this year. Since Mars is much farther away than the moon, it will take two launches to carry out the Mars sample-return mission due to the limited carrying capacities of our current rockets. Two Long March-5 carrier rockets will be used for the mission.” Other details include the 86 potential landing sites proposed by the team, which are primarily concentrated in the ancient Chryse Planitia and Utopia Planitia regions. These areas are considered good places to search for potential biosignatures that could be preserved remains of ancient life. This includes features that indicate the presence of past water, including delta fans, lake beds, and the coastline, suggesting the presence of a past ocean in the Northern Lowlands. The team also stated that Tianwen-3 will carry payloads developed with international partners. A wireless camera took this ‘group photo’ of China’s Tianwen-1 lander and rover on Mars’ surface. Credit: CNSA They also stressed the necessity for new instruments specifically designed to detect biosignatures. To this end, they have developed a 13-phase mission plan that leverages in-situ and remote-sensing detection technologies. Liu also disclosed that the mission will rely on multi-point surface sampling, fixed-point in-depth drilling, and in-flight vehicle sampling to obtain diverse samples. They also state that China will conduct joint research with scientists worldwide on Mars samples and detection data. What is clear from this latest news is that China intends to preempt NASA and the ESA’s proposed Mars Sample Return (MSR) mission. Due to budget cuts announced earlier this year, this mission is currently stuck in the design phase. Similarly, China has indicated that the Tianwen-4 mission will explore the Jupiter system to learn more about its moons and their evolutionary history. This mission is scheduled to launch in September 2029 and will follow on the heels of NASA’s Europa Clipper and the ESA’s JUpiter Icy Moons Explorer (JUICE). This is in keeping with China’s pattern of following in NASA’s footsteps, catching up with them and surpassing them as the leader in space exploration. If they manage to return Martian samples to Earth before either NASA or the ESA, they will have accomplished a task no other space agency has. However, given the scientific value of these samples and the international cooperation that will go into their analysis will be to the benefit of all.

To no surprise at all, Oliver Anthony is anti-establishment. He's made that very clear ever since he burst onto the country music scene with songs like "Rich Men North of Richmond" and "I Want To Go Home." That's why so many music fans connected with him - because he was standing up for the little man, and no one was in his pocket. People were expecting him to skyrocket into fame and be the next big country music artist. There wasn't a song bigger than "Rich Men North of Richmond" for quite some time. The moment it had is every big music label's dream, and though Anthony could have stepped right into that realm, he was hesitant. If he was going to be in the music industry, he wanted to be in it for the right reasons. As he explained in a recent "What I've Learned From the Music Industry So Far" video that was posted to his YouTube page: "At the very beginning, our focus was just trying to figure out what we felt like God's purpose was for our lives and trying to figure out how to pursue that. I think it was just being around all those people that weren't of that mindset. There's no way to create something that's focused around God when you're working with people who are just focused around making money. And just using you for whatever they can." The Virginia native went on to elaborate how the music industry sees new artist, comparing them to oil wells where they get every last drop until they've emptied it out, thus moving on to the next profitable venture. Oliver explained that through that process, the music itself ends up not mattering to the artist, and he questions why anyone would be in the business if their heart wasn't in it. That, along with how Nashville labels try to create an artist's image rather than just let the artist be themselves, is what Anthony finds especially bothersome about the modern day Nashville music machine: "Find some guy that you can build a character around. Prop him up through your label. Give him a bunch of songs that some kids over at The Hick in Nashville wrote while they were wearing their Crocs and drinking White Claws and hitting golf balls. Nobody that's either written the song or sung it really knows or understands the words to the song that their singing, but it sounds good and it's catchy and it fits the model. And it sounds like every other big song that's been out in the last five years. It's just a rinse and repeat model. It serves no purpose, other than it's just a business." And to prove that the music industry is really just a business, the country singer provided an anecdote about how his hit song shook up how the music charts usually work: "Around the time 'Rich Men North of Richmond' came out, there were other songs that it knocked out of the way that had millions of dollars invested in for marketing. A lot of the music that goes on the charts, the companies actually buy their own song however many times. They'll spend a million dollars just to jump it up the charts a certain amount where people start to see it. So according to Oliver Anthony, there's nothing authentic about really any aspect of the music industry. Though he spent a lot of time bashing anything and everything Nashville - and the music industry as a whole - he did concede that not everything about how things work is bad. He just draws it up as a business that needs to make money, just like every other business out there: "These are all just systems. They're not inherently bad. It's not like there's a bunch of people sitting around who are evil thinking about how to trick you into making you listen to a certain kind of song. But it's just a business model that they've followed and adapted to. It was evident talking to all these people, and every time I go to town and talk to people in Nashville, I realize how scary this new era is."

Zach Bryan claims he's not touring next year, but he's adding another date to his schedule. The "Something In The Orange" singer is making an exception for a few shows after he finishes the final leg of the Quittin' Time Tour, which is currently underway. Over the summer, after the release of The Great American Bar Scene, ZB fans everywhere began to freak out when they noticed that his Spotify profile noted that he was currently on his last tour ever. “His most recent release was on July 4th, 2024, with his third studio album, ‘The Great American Bar Scene.’ He is currently on his last tour ever, the ‘Quittin’ Time Tour.'” After this news began buzzing on social media, ZB cleared up the statement and shared on X: "Guys when I say last tour I just mean I’m done going on runs after this year! I’ll still play shows! It’s not a tactic to sell tickets or a grab at y’all’s attention, I just want to rest and enjoy my family and life. STILL PLAYING SHOWS, just not going on tour runs!" Later this year, ZB also noted that he's spending next year in Paris to pursue his master's degree, which limits his ability to do tour runs. https://www.instagram.com/p/DCFiwZTRHev/?img_index=1 With him now only doing one-off shows or short tour strings, ZB has announced only a few shows for 205, most of which are with the Kings of Leon. The Oklahoma native sold out three nights at MetLife Stadium, with the Kings of Leon as his supporting act. But ZB just announced that it was not fair to give the East Coast love only next year and has planned a show on the West Coast as well. On August 15th, Zach Bryan will perform with the Kings of Leon at San Francisco's Golden Gate Park. "Felt wrong to give New York some of our only shows next year. See you guys in San Francisco." https://www.instagram.com/p/DDK-lHrSJGL/ Given that his string of New York shows was initially announced as one night but was extended to three due to ticket demand, I could imagine the same thing might happen for San Francisco. Tickets for the event go on sale Friday, December 6th at noon, but if you can't get them, I'd watch for announcements of added dates. These are sure to move fast. Regardless of whether ZB is touring a lot next year, given the recent media scandal he's been in post-breakup from Brianna Chickenfry, taking a step back might be a good thing for him. Now and again, you've got to focus on yourself. But, the demand for these shows has also proven that folks are separating the art from the artist and are not letting the allegations dictate their opinion of him. Zach Bryan seems to be doing just fine... Fire up his latest single while you're here.
