Hey space enthusiasts! 🚀 The crew of Shenzhou-20 from China's orbiting Tiangong space station just sent a heartwarming video message for International Children's Day on June 1. Chinese astronauts Chen Dong, Chen Zhongrui, and Wang Jie shared their childhood dreams and inspired us by proving that with determination and curiosity, no goal is too far out of reach.
Launched on April 24, 2025, the mission has been busy making space safer and smarter. They've installed a debris shield on the station's radial hatch, conducted experiments on planarian regeneration, and even run a full-system pressure emergency drill. The crew also completed extravehicular activities to install space debris protection devices and inspect critical equipment – a true showcase of teamwork and innovation in zero gravity!
This message reminds us that every breakthrough starts with a dream. Just like our favorite tech startups and creative ventures back home, these astronauts are pushing boundaries and lighting the spark for the next generation of explorers. Keep dreaming big, and who knows? The sky is just the beginning!
