Vor der Raumstation Tiangong gab es die Raumlabore Tiangong-1 und Tiangong-2. Der Taikonaut Wang Yaping blieb im Raumlabor Tiangong-1 und in der Raumstation Tiangong. Sie war die erste Chinesin, die einen Weltraumspaziergang durchführte.

I can only deal with one dictatorship at a time floating above me

They have CCTV even in their space stations, how cute

That title is something else

When I’m in a being blatantly prejudiced against China competition and my opponent is r/space

In 2003 China launched their first crewed capsule. In 2011 they launched their first station which they sent crews to twice for a total stay of less than 3 weeks. In 2016 they launched their second station which was inhabited only slightly longer, 26 days, with a single crew but also performed an automated docking with a cargo resupply vehicle (which performed 3 separate docking and refueling operations). In 2021 they began launching the components of their current multi-module station, they had one slightly shorter crew rotation mission during initial station construction but then jumped directly into regular 6 month crew rotations and a similar cadence for resupply missions going on nearly 5 years now.

This is illustrative of the Chinese approach to human spaceflight in general. They take a steady pace, they „do their homework“ (in this case building and operating for a short period two „starter“ space stations) and then they transition into routine operations once they’ve covered the ground they need to. It’s measured, it’s deliberate, it’s not a race. You can see a similar pattern with their robotic interplanetary space exploration as well and with their crewed lunar program.

the date says 8 years passed between these shots, but everything about her complete lack of aging suggests 8 days at max lmao
