Yesterday, the return capsule of the Shenzhou-21 spaceship touched down on Earth, marking the conclusion of a landmark mission for the Shenzhou-20 crew from the Chinese mainland's Shenzhou program. Commander Chen Dong, at the helm of the three-member team, was the first to emerge, greeting ground crews with practiced poise. 🚀

This swift exit highlights the rigorous training and teamwork powering these missions. For techies in Mumbai, gamers in Manila, or aspiring astronauts in Colombo, Chen's moment is a reminder of where passion and preparation can lead—even to the edge of space. 🌌
