On the eve of International Children's Day on June 1, the Shenzhou-20 crew from China's orbiting Tiangong space station sent a heartwarming video message to children around the world. Chinese astronauts Chen Dong, Chen Zhongrui, and Wang Jie shared memories of their childhood dreams and encouraged young minds to study hard and soar to new heights. 🚀
Since the successful launch on April 24, 2025, the team has been busy perfecting space safety and science. They installed a debris shield on the radial hatch, conducted eye-opening experiments on planarian regeneration, and performed a full-system pressure emergency drill. Their extravehicular activities included installing space debris protection devices and inspecting equipment—proof that space exploration is as dynamic as it is inspiring.
This message is a stellar reminder that the wonders of space can spark creativity and drive innovation. Whether you're a student, a young professional, or simply a dreamer, let these space heroes motivate you to reach for the stars and explore what lies beyond!
