Shenzhou 20 Mission Helps China Overtakes the U.S. in Earth’s Orbit

Подробнее о видео

On April 24, 2025, China launched its Shenzhou-20 mission, sending three astronauts to the China space station, Tiangong. While the West debates future plans, China is quietly operating a permanent orbital base, rotating astronauts every six months, and building a self-reliant system that’s turning heads in Washington.

Unlike the aging ISS, the China space station is compact, autonomous, and fully managed by one country—without relying on a multi-nation alliance or outsourced launch systems. With Tiangong now hosting routine missions like Shenzhou-20, it’s clear: China space station is no longer an experiment—it’s a functioning asset.

This episode of Top 10 Discoveries Official dives into how China built a space supply chain from rockets to reentry capsules, enabling a smooth, scalable cadence. And with plans to expand lunar operations via the ILRS project, the China space station is becoming a staging ground for deep-space missions and geopolitical influence.

Meanwhile, the U.S. faces Artemis delays, fading ISS life, and a fractured space ecosystem. The implications? China space station might be the only full-time human outpost in orbit by 2030.
