That's the new scheduled launch date for the Chang-E lunar orbiter
according to the Wikipedia website.
The Chinese legend behind the name Chang-E may very well be the first science-fiction story in history.
There's even a reference to a "crystal palace" on the moon in that Chinese fable.
Crystal palace, hmmmm?....Reminds me of that fellow who used to post here, james...
What a piece of work he was.
