The first batch of soils and rocks from the Moon's far side ever obtained by mankind weighs a total of 1,935.3 grams, which was brought safely back by China's Chang'e-6 mission, according to an announcement by the China National Space Administration (CNSA) on Friday during a handover ceremony in Beijing. China welcomes the sharing of data with scientists around the world and maintains an open attitude toward cooperating with the US, CNSA officials said, but the US should remove obstacles including the Wolf Amendment that hinders such collaboration.
