Exploring space has always been a dream of the Chinese nation. In 2003, the successful launch of the Shenzhou-5 spacecraft made Yang Liwei the first Chinese astronaut to travel into space. In 2008, Shenzhou-7 took off, and Zhai Zhigang became the first Chinese astronaut to conduct a spacewalk in Chinese history. In recent years, China's space industry has entered a "fast lane" of innovative development, with steady progress in space infrastructure construction. The China Space station was fully completed in 2022. The rapid development of China's space endeavors has written a glorious chapter in the history of the Chinese nation and made tremendous contributions to the progress of human civilization. In the future, China's footsteps in space exploration will be steadier and go farther.
