BEIJING (AP) China's Shenzhou-13 spacecraft carrying three Chinese astronauts docked Saturday at its space station, kicking off a record-setting six-month stay as the country moves toward completing the new orbiting outpost.
The spacecraft was launched by a Long March-2F rocket at 12:23 a.m. Saturday and docked with the Tianhe core module of the Tiangong space station at 6:56 a.m., approximately six and a half hours later.

(989 posts)When Chinese successfully send people into space, they must have stolen the technology because there's no way a nation of 1.4 billion could have developed their own talent that was capable of coming up with the technology independently.

When any other country does the same, there's nothing but praise.
I see how it is.
