Very interesting. Thanks for posting.
They had 20 people up there? Wtf
There are YouTube videos covering the prep in Mongolia several days ago for their return. Also, videos oftheir safe return.
Uh, no.
The state media wants to praise them all the time that there was an interviewer from state media ready to interview the taikonauts ASAP once they were down. It’s not what we see when SpaceX astronauts land when it’s a full debrief and medical check in the boat before flying to a media centre event.
I think what is clearly needed is a cosmic junkyard robot dog prot3cting all the junk in space.

Their smiles say everything. Happy for their safe return.
so there’s no way for the Shenzhou-21 crew to get home ?
“so there’s no way for the Shenzhou-21 crew to get home ?”
Safely, no. They could always take their chances with the compromised capsule. They are sending a replacement soon.
Their BBQ chicken wings thing was fake , they were precooked and they used a convection oven to heat them up ,LOL
The Chinese Space Agency has the “next” capsule near the ready, so, in 6 months when the new crew’s 6 mos is up, that capsule will definitely be available.
IIRC, the “next” capsule can be ready in weeks, will be sent unmanned, and be at the ready to return the current crew in case of any unforeseen problem before their 6 month mission ends.

Source, please. This is what I found:
Chinese astronauts on the Tiangong space station are cooking freshly-prepared (not precooked) chicken wings using a new hot-air oven, which allows for actual cooking, complete with browning and chemical reactions, rather than just heating.
This new oven is a major advancement for space cuisine, enabling astronauts to cook from raw ingredients and improving their morale.
China’s space station is also capable of cultivating lettuce, tomatoes and potatoes, according to the China National Space Administration (CNSA), which can all be used to cook in the new space oven.
On the International Space Station (ISS), all food is precooked or processed, so can be prepared by adding water or warming up.
not at the same time.
China’s first study of rodent mammals in orbit.
I think ‘mammal’ could have been left out - unless there are some reptile rodents.
Did they bring egg rolls?
Like most bachelors' kitchens on earth.
***Like most bachelors’ kitchens on earth. ***
When reading about the ISS menus, it sounded like a lot of their food is akin to MREs.
The Chinese have 190 menu items on a ten day rotation, plus personal preference items. In case you thought they only eat ramen called rìshì lāmiàn (日式拉面/日式拉麵 “Japanese-style lamian”).
Rotate me OUT!!!
I think you’re safe:

Pizza Hut is popular, but in China it is Casual Dining In
As an aside, my friend and her Dad opened the first two Starbucks in Shanghai in 1998. Starbucks popularity in China has fallen since Luckin Coffee entered the Market. Luckin has also opened locations in NYC.
