China’s Shenzhou-20 astronauts are rewriting history with a record-breaking 188-day mission in orbit 🌌—the longest space stay by a Chinese crew to date! Spokesperson Zhang Jingbo confirmed the milestone at a press conference, adding that the trio is in "good condition" as they prep for their return to Earth.
Commander Chen Dong, now China’s first astronaut to log 400+ days in space, led the crew through six daring spacewalks (EVAs) 🛰️, while rookies Chen Zhongrui and Wang Jie aced their debut missions. Together, they installed debris shields, tested new gear, and hauled cargo like intergalactic movers 🧳.
But the real star power? Their groundbreaking science wins 🔬: growing protein crystals that could fight cancer, heating tungsten to a scorching 3,100°C (🔥 new space record!), and observing weirdly stable colloid structures in zero gravity. Talk about #ScienceGoals!
With the crew now prepping for handover, China’s space ambitions are soaring higher than ever. Who’s ready for the next cosmic chapter? 👩🚀👨🚀
