The sentence is just a factual statement. 3 agencies have done it. That is fact.

The sentence did mention china has done it on the first attempt which is also factual and relevant to context. The article is about moon landings and associated failures.

As for the Apollo program everyone knows about it. There's no point in regurgitating obvious facts.

It's only relevant to context if it also includes the context in which the event occurred: China's first attempt is not a notable achievement in the same way the first successful landing after many failures is. I really hate these sinophiles' attempts to elevate China into some super-awesome, super-intelligent master race.

Landing on the first attempt is pretty impressive in itself, given the difficulty in landing at all is.

> I really hate these sinophiles' attempts to elevate China into some super-awesome, super-intelligent master race.

...I'm sorry, what the fuck are you talking about?

Please don't do this. You are seeing things in the text that isn't there and you seem to do the same just the other way around. It reads anti-chinese / racist.
