well that's a given, they probably confirmed parachute open and safe touchdown before launching live coverage

Not a big issue. But something I think worth to mention.

CCTV13 has been live covering the recovering work since 00:00 interleaving with regular program, it became continuously after the location was confirmed.

I mean that before they actually reach the site nobody would know it is safe touchdown or a crash with damage. All they know is the beacon activated for lactation. Before reaching the site the live coverage has been going on for a long time.

I think that China has been more confident than you might think in Chang'e-5, so much so that China has no intention to wait.

That is the close chapter of the first phase of China's Luna exploration program. Looking forward to the next phase.
