An important milestone for China's space programme. The second 3 members were launched from Earth only 6 to 7 hours ago. This is the day everyone of the 1.4 billion Chinese feels proud of the motherland.

It’s wonderful to see such great coverage of this hist event. It’s great to see that China is so open about their humans in space program. It’s also great to see the warmth expressed to the new crew members. Thank you!

In regard to space endeavours China proves that US sanctions will only backfire on them spectacularly. China has the will and the wherewithal to do it alone. Good job China!

Terlihat sekali ke 3 kru yang baru belum bisa terlalu mengendalikan tubuhnya yang melayang seperti tak terkendali 🤣🤣👍👍 China cayooo !!

[rayganable]

Congratulations! Actually I disagree with one of the commentator. The training environment is never the same as being in an actual space.

Meanwhile in USA we busy arguing on Twitter about Elon Musk, while China launching people into space.

[dunai]

On the orbit currently there are three American and one Japanese astronauts, three Russian cosmonauts, but SIX taikonauts from China.

Happy launch, happy fly, happy docking❗️Happy 🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳

Phase 1 is still too small
It is suitable for three people
But with six people, the space is a bit cramped.
When will the second phase of the project begin?
We also have three spare sections each with launch docking,
Our original plan was to have 9 people working on the track at the same time.

[jaketan]

I think soon all of the taikonauts of china will be send to Chinese lunar space station once it was constructed.

[binqian]

get something for Shenzhou15 crew members to eat, they have been flighting for 6.5 hours, maybe chongqing hotpot and some domestic beer?

[colinlee]

Can someone tell me how does the rocket engine make the rocket change direction after liftoff and whether the spacecraft remains docked to the spacecraft until the crew is due to return to Earth to carry the crew back to Earth ?

Is there dog-flavor ready to eat meals in the Shenzou space station??
