China Sets New Space Records

Three Chinese astronauts set a new record after nearly seven months in orbit, landing safely in Inner Mongolia—just as China accelerates toward its lunar landing goal by decade’s end. During their mission, they delivered critical data, transferred supplies, and mentored the incoming Shenzhou 23 crew. Astronaut Zhang Lu, now China’s most experienced spacewalker with seven EVAs, shared emotional reflections on return. Zhang Hongzhang spoke of Earth as proof of humanity’s shared destiny. The new crew includes Lai Ka-ying, Hong Kong’s first astronaut in space. With the U.S. also racing to the moon, China’s independent space program is soaring stronger than ever.
