History just got an interstellar update! 🌌 Three astronauts from China’s Shenzhou-19 mission successfully entered the China Space Station on Wednesday, marking a milestone in humanity’s cosmic journey. The crew high-fived (or maybe zero-gravity floated?) the station’s current residents, the Shenzhou-18 trio, kicking off a 5-day handover filled with experiments, system checks, and #SpaceRoommateGoals.
This ‘passing the torch’ moment isn’t just about floating snacks between modules. The crews will conduct over 40 experiments in microgravity—think next-gen materials science and space medicine breakthroughs that could shape life on Earth. 🔬 Bonus: China’s space program continues to accelerate, with plans for lunar missions and a permanent orbital station by 2030. 🌕
