Touchdown! China's Shenzhou 15 crew back on Earth after landing in Gobi Desert

The Shenzhou 15 taikonauts Fei Junlong (commander), Deng Qingming and Zhang Lu returned to Earth from the Tiangong space station on June 3, 2023 (June 4 - Beijing time). Their spacecraft touched down at the Dongfeng landing site in north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.

Bravo! P.S. that was not explosion. It was the ignition of landing retro rockets. It would further decrease the speed of landing to less than 2m/s.

Glad they made it back safe. Congrats to the people of China

Space launch & return should be an exciting moment. But China make it becomes routine task.

Did it explode on landing? Did they survive? Holy moly that looked hard.

[captainkurts]

Hard hit for sure. Definitely retro-rockets, but stopping in that short of distance isn't good for the brain, organs, or skeletal system. Let's see if they're walking around w/o back-pain after normal gravity-adjustment.

right now，when it comes talking about space technology， it's not china need world ，it's world need china，china don't care Westerners critic and bullying，just do it！

Touch down hard like that wont they neck break? Is it fake? Anyone ever see continuous video beginning from touchdown to when they get out, without cutting

[richardlo]

I wonder what it feels like when they fire that explosive retro rocket.

[shlomohammer]

Only black on one side bcs it came in on a angle?? This dose not make sense to me.

[johnnyvoets]

How stupid can a woman be asking how they look facing up 5:08 if i were that chinese reporter i would say facing down (lol) 🙂

One Parachute !!! ... safety backups not a cultural concern.

[userb]

I wonder why China prefers to use a single parachute - are there redundant systems in case the main chute fails?

[Stomper]

Ummm... That would have killed them. And what was that flash?

[ssd]

didnt expect to see so many jealous haters in this channel Lol.

Sorry everyone who believes this. There was no one in the capsule. That hit the ground so hard it bounced. I gotta admit it's pretty funny.
