Marketplace Tech for Friday, December 13, 2013
In the next few days, a rover launched by China's space agency is scheduled to land on the Moon. It'll be the first spacecraft to touchdown on lunar soil in almost 40 years. So what might a Chinese space rover be looking for on a dusty rock we haven't been to since the Bee Gees were still topping the charts? And it’s Friday, which means time to play Silicon Tally, the game where Marketplace Tech host Ben Johnson and a worthy adversary try and stump each other with numbers from the week's tech news.
