The International Astronautical Congress (IAC 2023) in Baku has become a hub for cosmic creativity! As space experts gather, CGTN reporter Wu Lei highlighted a game-changer: storytelling isn’t just for Netflix—it’s rocket fuel for public engagement in space science! 🎤
During a lively forum, Wu emphasized how clear communication bridges the gap between labcoats and TikTokers. Think viral Mars rover videos or astronaut Instagram takeovers—these aren’t just trends, but tools to inspire Gen-Z to care about orbital tech and interstellar diplomacy. 📱✨
Why does this matter? With private space ventures booming and lunar bases on whiteboards, relatable narratives help everyone—from students to investors—see themselves in humanity’s next giant leap. As Wu put it: \"Every spaceship launch needs two engines: one for thrust, another for trust.\" 🚀💡
PS: Who knew Azerbaijan’s capital would become the temporary HQ for #SpaceTok? 🌍👩🚀
