China's space program blasted into history books last year with 92 successful launches – a galactic leap forward in humanity's cosmic ambitions! 🌌 The 2025 achievements include deploying over 300 satellites and smashing crewed mission records, cementing the nation's role as a space exploration powerhouse.
Highlights from this stellar year:
👨🚀 Shenzhou-20 crew spent 204 days in orbit (that's 6.8 months of space coffee!)
⚡ Shenzhou-21 nailed a 3.5-hour docking maneuver – faster than some food delivery apps!
🚨 Executed first-ever 16-day emergency launch during crewed mission drama
🌠 Tianwen-2 probe launched on China's maiden asteroid sample-return quest
Commercial space companies also rocketed up, with multiple private rockets boosting payloads to orbit. Looking to 2026, China plans moon south pole water hunts (Chang'e-7 mission) and new reusable rocket tests. Could lunar bootprints be next? 👟🌑
