China's Shenzhou-18 astronauts just leveled up humanity's cosmic resume! 🛰️ On Tuesday, the crew completed an 8.5-hour spacewalk outside the Tiangong space station—the longest-ever EVA by Chinese taikonauts.
Heroes of the hour Ye Guangfu and Li Guangsu (with Li Cong supporting from inside) installed space debris shields and ran critical equipment checks, all while floating 340km above Earth. 🤯 The mission combined cutting-edge tech like the station's robotic arm with seamless ground control coordination.
This milestone comes as China's space program accelerates its crew exploration capabilities. With Tiangong set to host 1,000+ science experiments by 2030, these spacewalks are paving the way for humanity's next giant leap. 🌏✨
