May 30th is a day that marks the history of China's aerospace industry. The Shenzhou 16 spacecraft successfully docked with Chinese astronauts and the core module of the Tiangong Space Station. Moreover, the successful convergence with the Shenzhou 15 astronauts signifies another solid step forward in the construction of China's space station.

A Space Dream spanning thirty years

Since 1992, the concept of a space station has taken root and sprouted in the hearts of Chinese aerospace workers. After 31 years of hard work and unwavering pursuit, China's space station dream has finally come true, achieving a true historical leap from zero to one.

However, looking back on the past, our path was not smooth sailing. Especially in earlier years, the United States had repeatedly attempted to isolate our country in the field of space, and had a statement in advance: "Chinese people will never know what a space station is!" Such humiliating remarks became the driving force for China's space workers to move forward.

Until 2021, when China's space station arrived on schedule, showcasing the rapid progress of Chinese technology to the world, some people who had looked down on us in the past suddenly criticized us: "China's space station does not comply with international standards, how can its operating system not use English?" Faced with such remarks, many people wanted to ask: Do you also need to consider the taste of dogs when cooking in your home?

A Historical Review of the International Space Station

In the late 1970s, during the Cold War period, the United States and the Soviet Union chose to cooperate to achieve space docking between the Soyuz and Apollo spacecraft, which also laid the foundation for the birth of the International Space Station. In 1992, the heavy burden of the International Space Station was handed over to Russia. At this moment, China's aerospace industry has just started, and we eagerly hope to participate in this great project.

However, although the European Space Agency and other countries welcomed our participation, the United States rejected our request due to its own considerations.

China Space Station: Persistence and Independence

In order to break free from dependence on external technology, China officially launched the manned space project in 1992. After unremitting efforts, China's aerospace industry has undergone rapid changes. Not only has the construction of a space laboratory been completed, but now the construction of a space station is also on track.

Faced with this, the voice of doubt once again sounded. The United States is dissatisfied with the use of Chinese in the operating system of China's space station, which is undoubtedly another disrespect for China's aerospace industry. However, the Chinese space station is independently designed and built by China, and we have the right to decide everything inside, including the language used.

conclusion

Our country's space station technology is already advanced enough, but our attitude towards other countries has always been open and cooperative. At present, China has in-depth cooperation with multiple countries and institutions such as the European Space Agency. We always believe that only openness, cooperation, and win-win can promote the sustainable development of the global aerospace industry.
