hree Chinese astronauts have entered the core module of China's permanent space station to embark on their three-month mission, becoming the module's first occupants and pioneers in one of the nation's grandest space endeavors.
Major General Nie Haisheng, Major General Liu Boming and Senior Colonel Tang Hongbo floated into the core module, named Tianhe, or Harmony of Heavens, at 6:48 pm on Thursday, after their Shenzhou XII spaceship linked with the module in a low-Earth orbit about 390 kilometers above the Earth at 3:54 pm.
They have begun to carry out their tasks inside the craft, which is the first and central section of China's space station, called Tiangong, or Heavenly Palace.
The all-male crew, from the People's Liberation Army Astronaut Division, was launched by a 20-story-tall Long March 2F carrier rocket, which blasted off at 9:22 am at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwestern China's Gobi Desert.

Hope it’s built better than the wuhan bio lab.
What no diversity?
—
Diversity in China under the CCP means just Han Chinese. Diversity is for other nations to preform on their way to the bottom, making way for the Assent of the Han.
If all that fancy electronics was made by the same companies that made all the Chinese-made consumer electronics I’ve purchased over the years, these three intrepid individuals have about two weeks to live.
Has the CCP weaponize this ?
I bet they have .
I certainly could be wrong, but I don’t recall any General, let alone a Major General ever going in to space before.
Here we have two on the same mission.

There’s an American Flag on the Moon...
Um, it was America that said no, especially the academics and deep staters.
They are going to be there for 3 months. I am sure you are wrong.
I give it six months......................
I would not trust a Chinese space station to keep people safe and alive.
No white males=diversity
The CCP wants to show the world China are a world leader in technology. But none of their supposedly independently developed technology is actually theirs. From military hardware to agricultural seeds to bio tech to space rockets, everything is bought, stolen or smuggled and then reverse engineered.
And chairman Xi would like to thank the Clintons and Loreal for a job well done.
