Ever wondered what it’s like to celebrate Lunar New Year while floating 400km above Earth? 🎇 China’s Shenzhou-19 astronauts just spilled the cosmic tea! As their six-month mission hits the midpoint, the crew offered a rare look into their daily routines, scientific work, and even how they marked the Spring Festival in their zero-gravity home.
Festive Vibes, Zero Gravity Style 🥟
The trio enjoyed ‘space dumplings’ made from pre-prepared ingredients and shared video greetings with families back on Earth—proving traditions thrive even in orbit. ‘We hung red lanterns and practiced calligraphy,’ one astronaut said. ‘It feels like a high-tech version of home.’ 🏮
Science in the Stars 🔬
Between cultural moments, the team conducts over 40 experiments ranging from fluid dynamics to plant growth in microgravity. Their findings could unlock breakthroughs in medicine and sustainable tech. Talk about multitasking!
Fit in Space 🏋️♂️
Daily workouts aren’t just for TikTok trends—the crew exercises two hours daily to combat muscle loss. Their treadmill? Strapped to the wall. Resistance bands? Part of the ‘gym’ that keeps them mission-ready.
As they prep for upcoming spacewalks and tech tests aboard the Tiangong station, one thing’s clear: these pioneers are redefining what ‘work-life balance’ means—literally out of this world. 🚀
