China's Shenzhou 17 astronauts arrive at Tiangong space station (video) *CHANGE ME*
(CCTV)
The three spaceflyers of the Shenzhou 17 mission reached China's Tiangong space station early Thursday morning, just 6.5 hours or so after lifting off atop a Long March 2F rocket from the Gobi Desert.
The Shenzhou 17 crew consists of mission commander Tang Hongbo, 48, and former fighter pilots Tang Shengjie, 34, and Jiang Xinlin, 35. They're the youngest group ever to visit Tiangong, which China began assembling in low Earth orbit in April 2021 and finished about 18 months later. "Build a dream at the Tiangong space station and continue to work hard," they said in unison in China's CCTV news video.

"There is this kind of power the images have. It really isn't from us. We're creating the context in which you can appreciate them, but we're not forcing it," its director Nathaniel Kahn says.
