China's space program has made remarkable strides in recent years, positioning itself as a major player in space exploration. Including Space Station Construction and Manned Missions. As well as Robotic Missions to The Moon's Far Side and Mars! 🚀🚩👨🏼‍🚀🌕🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🕊️

My first home produced video for the 'China Space Watch' Channel. An animated panoramic view from China's 'Chang'e 4' Lunar Lander. The Yutu-2 Rover can be spotted roving the surface of the 'Von Kármán Crater' within the South Pole Aitken Basin, on the Moon's Far Side. #MoonLander #SpaceExploration
🚨CMSA announced the return of Shenzhou-20 postponed due to a suspected impact on the spacecraft by space debris!🚨 More in Comments...
🔥 GALACTIC-ENERGY has just completed a static fire of Pallas-1's 1st stage hours ago, on the same platform that supported Tianlong-3's test in September.
Shenzhou-20 crew aboard China's Tiangong Space Station breaks record with 193-day mission, surpassing Shenzhou-18.
China's Institute of Mechanics successfully completes ground testing for a 'reconfigurable flexible in-orbit manufacturing platform' core module, achieving breakthroughs in structure and cabin technology. Source: m.weibo.cn/status/QcgJX...
The China Space Station got an oven! Brought up by Shenzhou-21. 🍗🍕👨‍🍳
Shenzhou-20 handed over the symbolic key of the China Space Station to Shenzhou-21, one day before their scheduled return.
Yes, i am sure the pressurized bigger Rover will come, in a second phase of Manned Lunar Exploration. this one serves the early missions. In the same way the Apollo one did.
Always been a fan of Buzz Aldrin's plan for a system of spacecraft called "Aldrin Cyclers" that continuously travel between Earth and Mars orbits. If they can nail the dockings, it's the fastest, cheapest way to permanently ferry between Earth and Mars. www.skyatnightmagazine.com/space-missio...
Buzz Aldrin's vision for the human exploration of Mars
The second man on the Moon, Buzz Aldrin, has grand ideas of how to make sure human exploration of Mars is more long lived than Apollo.

In the upcoming Shenzhou-22 mission China plans to have one Astronaut remain in orbit for a year. Switching things up from the usual 6 month stay to 12 months! An incredible feat to look forward to!

Meet China’s youngest astronaut to participate in a space mission to date! Wu Fei was born in 1993 in Baotou City. Prior to his astronaut career, he worked as an engineer at the China Academy of Space Technology, part of the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (#CASC). #Shenzhou21
The Rent a Crowd cheering at Spacex when it explodes type success! The new NASA Moon Rocket had its faults, but it worked first time! Orbited the Moon and came back. They took time to ensure it would work, Musk just delves in to a bottomless pit of Tax Payers money 'Moving fast and breaking things'
Yes, the Engines reminded me of N1 right away. Seems a ridiculous set up, has an air of being cobbled together upscaling the one successful engine they have, rather than developing one for the actual task. Not enough Government Subsidies obviously!
🚩👨‍🚀👨‍🚀👨‍🚀The Dongfeng landing site in north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region carried out its final comprehensive drill on Sunday night, preparing to welcome the return of the Shenzhou-20 astronaut crew, who will soon conclude their six-month stay aboard the Tiangong space station.
China on Monday sent a new remote sensing satellite, Yaogan-46, into the preset orbit via a modified Long March-7 carrier rocket. The satellite will be primarily used in disaster prevention and relief, land resource surveys, hydrology, meteorology, and other related fields.
🚩🚀 Liftoff at 03:47UTC November 03, Long March 7A Y13 launched YaoGan-46 from Wenchang.
Nebula-1 'Hop Test' Awesome Drone View! September 2024.
Chinese Private Sector Company DEEP-BLUE completed two (10s and 30s) static fire tests of the Re Usable Nebula-1 first stage, powered by 9x20t-thrust Thunder-R1 engines. Orbital launch attempt coming up next!
I also saw another country doing amazing things, with purpose, the right way, and wanted to help spread the word about it. Because their achievements are being deliberately undermined, ignored, or completely played down.
