In the long course of history, every technological progress is a leap forward for mankind to explore the unknown world. And today, the successful return of the Shenzhou-17 manned spacecraft once again proves this. This is not only a major victory for China's space industry, but also a closer to the dream of space exploration for each and every one of us.
At 17:46 on April 30, when the return capsule of the Shenzhou-17 manned spacecraft successfully landed at the Dongfeng landing site, we seemed to hear the bell of time, announcing another great achievement of China's aerospace industry. The astronauts Tang Hongbo, Tang Shengjie, and Jiang Xinlin who carried out the mission were in good health, and their safe return not only made us cheer, but also moved us.
The mission of Shenzhou-17 is undoubtedly a journey full of challenges. From the launch on October 26, 2023, to the docking with the Tianhe core module, to the 187-day in-orbit flight, all this is full of unknowns and difficulties. However, it was precisely this challenge that made the mission even more rewarding. The three astronauts carried out two out-of-cabin activities in orbit, cooperated with the completion of multiple cargo out-of-cabin tasks of the space station, carried out the installation, commissioning, maintenance and repair of equipment inside and outside the cabin, and completed the maintenance task of extravehicular facilities of the spacecraft in orbit for the first time. Every small step they take is a giant step into the depths of the universe.
Space exploration, as it may sound like a scientist's business, is distant and untouchable. But in reality, everyone can participate in this great cause. Whether as researchers or as ordinary people who follow the progress of science and technology, we can contribute to the exploration of the universe in a variety of ways. We can learn about the mysteries of the universe by learning relevant knowledge, we can support the development of the aerospace industry by paying attention to scientific and technological progress, and we can also arouse more people's interest in space exploration by disseminating scientific knowledge.
The successful return of Shenzhou-17 is not only a victory for China's aerospace industry, but also a close to the dream of space exploration for each of us. It allows us to see the possibility of human exploration of the universe, and it also allows us to see the opportunity to participate in it. Everyone who is curious about the universe can be a part of this exploration. No matter who you are, no matter where you are, as long as you have dreams and passions, you can participate in the great cause of space exploration.
In the future, we look forward to more Shenzhou spacecraft launching and more astronauts to bring us new discoveries in space. At the same time, we also look forward to everyone participating in the exploration of the universe in their own way and unveiling the mystery of the universe together. Because in this journey of exploring the unknown, everyone is important and everyone can contribute. Let's go to the depths of the universe together, explore bravely, and move forward fearlessly!
