TALK TO ME, TEXT ITStrange stories lurk in the shadows of our news cycles, overshadowed by flashier headlines but no less fascinating. Today's episode dives into two such tales that deserve your attention.First, we explore the concerning discovery of a mysterious new bacterial strain aboard China's Tiangong space station. This microorganism, related to bacteria found in soil and waste, has developed peculiar "unique abilities" that allow it to thrive in space environments. While scientists frame this as a beneficial discovery for understanding life beyond Earth, questions arise about potential applications by a nation with questionable motives on the world stage.The narrative then shifts to Pensacola Beach, where modern technology and quick thinking converged in an extraordinary rescue. When a teenage girl found herself caught in a powerful riptide, traditional rescue methods proved too slow. Enter an unlikely hero – a shark hunter who repurposed his drone to deliver a flotation device to the struggling swimmer. This remarkable incident highlights how everyday technology can transform into life-saving tools when conventional approaches fall short.Beyond these captivating stories, the episode takes a more personal turn as I reflect on my relationship with social media and content creation. Like many of us, I've been questioning the balance between online engagement and real-world connection. The constant pull of digital spaces often disconnects us from what matters most – a struggle many listeners likely share. The episode concludes with a fascinating exploration of dream interpretation through my recent experience of being attacked by a bear yet feeling anger rather than fear. What do your dreams reveal about your subconscious? Listen, reflect, and perhaps share your own dream experiences in the comments. Sometimes the most revealing stories are the ones we tell ourselves while sleeping.Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!Start for FREE Thanks for listening!

I denne RumNyt kommer vi igen vidt omkring. Vi følger op på både SpinLaunch og Biomass, hører om mærkelige exoplaneter om brune dværgstjerne, rumfartøjer der skal transportere ting ned fra kredsløb, og vender også kort balladen om molekylerne på K2-18b, der måske og måske ikke er tegn på liv. I vores hovedhistorie sætter vi fokus på rumstationer og fremtiden for mere eller mindre permamente ophold i kredsløb om Jorden. Vi er blandt andet blevet inspireret af besætningsskiftet på den kinesiske Tiangong-rumstation for nylig, men ser også på status for ISS og på nogle af de kommercielle projekter, der er under udvikling.

The Shenzhou XIX mission astronauts landed safely at the Dongfeng Landing Site in the Inner Mongolia autonomous region on Wednesday afternoon, wrapping up their six-month orbital journey.神舟十九号航天员于周三下午安全降落在内蒙古自治区的东风着陆场，圆满结束了为期六个月的轨道飞行。The Shenzhou XIX spacecraft's reentry capsule, carrying the three crew members—mission commander Senior Colonel Cai Xuzhe, Lieutenant Colonel Song Lingdong and Lieutenant Colonel Wang Haoze—touched down at 1:08 pm at the Dongfeng Landing Site, located in the middle of the Gobi Desert, after flying more than nine hours on their return journey.神舟十九号飞船返回舱搭载着三名宇航员——任务指令长蔡旭哲大校、宋令东中校和王浩泽中校——经过九个多小时的飞行，于下午1点08分安全降落在位于戈壁滩中部的东风着陆场。Their return was delayed by one day from the original schedule because of weather concerns at the Dongfeng site.由于东风着陆场天气原因，他们的返程比原计划推迟了一天。In the following hours after the return, ground recovery personnel from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, the homeport for all of China's manned spaceflights, will conduct safety checks outside the capsule, before opening the hatch of the bell-shaped vehicle and examining the astronauts' health condition.返回后的几个小时内，来自所有中国载人航天飞行的“母港”——酒泉卫星发射中心的地面回收人员将对返回舱外部进行安全检查，然后打开钟形飞行器的舱门，检查航天员的健康状况。The Shenzhou XIX crew members will then be helped out of the capsule and sent for medical examination.神舟十九号机组人员随后将在工作人员的协助下离开舱体，接受体检。After completion of all the mandatory procedures at the landing site, the crew members will be flown back to Beijing to undergo a six-month quarantine and recuperation program, which is a standard procedure for Chinese astronauts returning from space.在着陆场完成所有强制性程序后，机组人员将乘飞机返回北京，接受为期六个月的隔离和休养，这是中国航天员返回的标准程序。The Shenzhou XIX spacecraft departed from the Tiangong station around 4 am on Wednesday. The vessel flew into a return trajectory and gradually re-entered the Earth's atmosphere.神舟十九号飞船于周三凌晨4点左右从天宫空间站起飞。飞船进入返回轨道，并逐渐重返地球大气层。Before setting out on their return trip, Cai's team handed over their work to a new crew, transmitted scientific experimental data back to Earth and sorted and transferred materials between the station and their spaceship.在启程返回之前，蔡旭哲的团队将工作移交给了新的机组人员，将科学实验数据传输回地球，并在空间站和飞船之间进行材料整理和转移。In the next six months, the Tiangong station will be manned by the Shenzhou XX trio, headed by Senior Colonel Chen Dong, who arrived at the colossal flying outpost early on Friday morning.在接下来的六个月里，天宫空间站将由神舟二十号乘组驻守，该乘组由于周五清晨抵达这个巨大的飞行前哨的陈冬上校带队。autonomous region自治区trajectory/trəˈdʒɛktəri/n.轨道，弹道mandatory/ˈmændətɔːri/adj.强制的，义务的recuperation/rɪˌkuːpəˈreɪʃn/n.恢复，康复

China successfully launched its Shenzhou XX manned spaceship on Thursday, sending three astronauts to the Tiangong space station for a six-month mission.中国于本周四成功发射神舟二十号载人飞船，将三名航天员送往天宫空间站执行为期六个月的任务。A Long March 2F rocket blasted off from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwestern China at 5:17 pm, carrying the spaceship with mission commander Senior Colonel Chen Dong and crew members Colonel Chen Zhongrui and Colonel Wang Jie onboard.北京时间下午5时17分，长征二号F遥十七运载火箭从西北部酒泉卫星发射中心点火升空，搭载着由指令长陈冬大校、航天员陈忠瑞上校和王杰上校组成的神舟二十号乘组奔赴太空。Shortly after crossing the Karman line—the boundary separating Earth's atmosphere and outer space at an altitude of 100 kilometers above sea level—the Shenzhou XX spaceship separated from its carrier rocket and activated rapid autonomous rendezvous-and-docking mode.神州二十号飞船在穿越距地表100公里的地球大气层与外太空分界线——卡门线后，与运载火箭成功分离，随即启动快速自主交会对接程序。The astronauts, who are all members of the People's Liberation Army Astronaut Division, are scheduled to arrive at the space station early on Friday, joining their peers from the Shenzhou XIX mission who have been in orbit for nearly six months.作为中国人民解放军航天员大队现役航天员的三位成员，预计将于周五清晨与已在轨运行近六个月的神舟十九号乘组完成太空会师。At a news conference on Wednesday at the launch site, mission commander Chen Dong said he was thrilled to embark on his third spaceflight. "On the one hand, I feel immensely proud and honored, because being able to launch into space for my country again is both a great privilege and a source of deep happiness. On the other hand, there's also a deep sense of anticipation, as every journey into space is unique. I look forward to gaining more experience and achieving new breakthroughs," he added.在发射场周三举行的新闻发布会上，指令长陈冬表示对第三次执行太空飞行任务感到心潮澎湃："一方面，我感到无比光荣与自豪，因为能够再次为祖国出征太空，这既是无上荣誉，更是幸福的源泉；另一方面，我也有着深深的期待，因为每次太空之旅都是独一无二的，我渴望积累更多的航天经验，助力中国航天事业实现新跨越。"Wang Jie, a former spacecraft engineer at the China Academy of Space Technology in Beijing, said that as the mission's spaceflight engineer, his responsibilities include platform maintenance, equipment checks and repairs, handling emergencies, and conducting scientific experiments.来自北京中国空间技术研究院的前航天器工程师王杰表示，作为本次任务的太空飞行工程师，他的职责范围涵盖平台维护、设备检修、应急处置以及科学实验等多个领域。"While each crew member has specific tasks to complete during the mission, we broadly operate as a team. Every procedure or scientific experiment is carried out through collaboration, with each of us serving as backup for the others as and when necessary," Wang said."虽然每位乘组成员在任务期间都有具体分工，但我们更多是以团队形式开展工作。每一个操作程序或科学实验都是协作完成，我们每个人都在必要时为其他人提供支持。"王杰如是说。The Shenzhou XX crew is conducting China's 15th manned spaceflight and will be the ninth group of residents aboard the Tiangong, which is currently the only operational space station independently run by a single nation.神舟二十号乘组正在执行中国第十五次载人航天飞行任务，将成为入驻天宫空间站的第九批航天员乘组。目前天宫空间站是全球唯一由单一国家独立建造运营的在轨空间站。After their spaceship approaches and docks with the front port of the Tianhe core module of the Tiangong, the trio will enter the space station to meet with their Shenzhou XIX peers — mission commander Senior Colonel Cai Xuzhe, Lieutenant Colonel Song Lingdong and Lieutenant Colonel Wang Haoze.当他们的飞船靠近并与天和核心舱前向端口完成交会对接后，这三名航天员将进驻空间站，与神舟十九号乘组完成太空会师——该乘组由指令长蔡旭哲大校、航天员宋令东和王浩泽中校组成。Both teams will work together for about four days to ensure a smooth handover, after which the Shenzhou XIX crew will return to Earth, with their reentry capsule scheduled for touchdown on Tuesday.两批航天员乘组将开展约四天的联合工作，以确保顺利交接，此后神舟十九号乘组将返回地球，其返回舱计划于周二着陆。Over the next six months, the Shenzhou XX astronauts will carry out a variety of tasks, including scientific experiments, technological demonstrations, and spacewalks to install space debris shielding equipment and other external instruments. They will also retrieve equipment from the station's exterior and hold science lectures.在接下来的六个月中，神舟二十号的航天员将执行包括科学实验、技术验证、出舱安装空间碎片防护装置及其他外部设备等多项任务。他们还将回收空间站外部的设备，并开展太空授课活动。Long March 2F Rocket长征二号F遥十七运载火箭Shenzhou XX manned spaceship神州二十号载人飞船reentry capsule返回舱front port前向对接口the Shenzhou XIX神州十九号

China plans to launch the Shenzhou XX mission on Thursday afternoon for a crew shift aboard the nation's Tiangong space station, as stated by a senior program official.据一位高级项目官员透露，中国计划于周四下午发射神舟二十号飞船，并在天宫空间站进行航天员轮换任务。Lin Xiqiang, deputy director of the China Manned Space Agency, announced at a news conference on Wednesday morning at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwestern China that the Shenzhou XX spacecraft, carrying three crew members—mission commander Senior Colonel Chen Dong, Colonel Chen Zhongrui and Colonel Wang Jie—is set to launch at 5:17 pm on Thursday using a Long March 2F carrier rocket.中国载人航天工程办公室副主任林西强周三上午在位于中国西北部的酒泉卫星发射中心举行的新闻发布会上宣布，神舟二十号飞船将于周四下午5点17分使用长征二号F运载火箭发射，届时将搭载三名航天员发射升空，三名航天员分别为任务指令长大校陈冬、大校陈中瑞和大校王杰。Thursday also marks China's 10th Space Day, observed annually on April 24.周四也是中国第十个航天日，每年的4月24日是中国航天日。Lin mentioned that the Long March 2F rocket will soon be loaded with propellants at its service tower.林西强提到，长征二号F火箭即将在其服务塔上进行推进剂的装载。"After the Shenzhou XX spacecraft reaches its designated orbital position, it will engage the rapid autonomous rendezvous-docking mode and take approximately six and a half hours to approach and dock with the front port on the Tianhe core module," Lin said.“神舟二十号飞船到达预定轨道位置后，将进入快速自主交会对接模式，大约需要六个半小时才能接近并交会对接天和核心舱的左舷。”林西强说道。The Shenzhou XX team will conduct China's 15th manned spaceflight and become the ninth group of residents aboard the Tiangong, which is currently the only operational space station independently operated by a single nation.神舟二十号团队将执行中国第十五次载人航天飞行，也将是进驻中国空间站“天宫”的第九批居民。天宫是目前唯一一个由单一国家独立运营的运营空间站。The Tiangong, completed in late 2022, orbits Earth at an altitude of about 400 kilometers. It consists of three permanent components—the Tianhe core module and two large science lab modules named Wentian and Mengtian—and is currently linked with two visiting spacecraft, the Shenzhou XIX crew ship and the Tianzhou 8 cargo ship. It stands as one of the largest and most intricate structures ever established in space by humanity.已于2022年底建成的天宫空间站目前以约400公里高度环绕地球运行。它由三个永久性部件组成——天和核心舱以及两个名为“问天”和“梦天”的大型科学实验舱，目前还对接有神舟十九号载人飞船与天舟八号货运飞船，是人类在太空中建造的最大、最复杂的结构之一。Chen Dong and his team will take over the expansive orbital outpost from their counterparts in the Shenzhou XIX mission—mission commander Senior Colonel Cai Xuzhe and crew members Lieutenant Colonel Song Lingdong and Lieutenant Colonel Wang Haoze—who arrived on Oct 30. By now, Cai's team has spent 175 days in orbit.陈冬及其团队将从神舟十九号乘组手中接管这一轨道前哨站。神舟十九号航天员为任务指令长空军大校蔡旭哲、中校宋令东和中校王浩泽，他们于去年10月30日抵达空间站，目前已在轨飞行175天。The two groups will coexist for approximately four days for transition work, after which the Shenzhou XIX astronauts will depart and return to Earth on Tuesday, according to Lin.据林西强介绍，两个团队将共处约四天进行交接工作，之后神舟十九号宇航员将于周二离开并返回地球。During their six-month orbital stay, the Shenzhou XX crew will perform various tasks such as conducting scientific experiments and technological demonstrations, conducting spacewalks to install space debris shielding equipment, experimental instruments, and other external devices, retrieving devices from outside the space station, and engaging in science lectures and other public-benefit activities.在为期六个月的轨道停留期间，神舟二十号机组人员将执行各种任务，例如开展科学实验和技术演示，进行太空行走以安装空间碎片屏蔽设备、实验仪器和其他外部设备，从空间站外部回收设备，以及开展科普讲座和其他公益活动。This will mark the third space mission for Chen Dong, who participated in the Shenzhou XI mission in 2016 and Shenzhou XIV in 2022, where he served as the mission commander with Cai as a crew member. For Chen Zhongrui and Wang Jie, this upcoming flight will be their first extraterrestrial expedition.这将是陈冬的第三次太空任务。他曾参与过2016年的神舟十一号任务和2022年的神舟十四号任务，并在神舟十四号任务中担任指令长，蔡旭哲是其中的一名机组人员。对于陈中瑞和王杰来说，即将到来的这次飞行将是他们的首次太空之旅。rendezvous-docking/ˈrɒndɪvuː ˈdɒkɪŋ/n.交会对接orbital/ˈɔːbɪtl/adj.轨道的；与轨道有关的expedition/ˌekspəˈdɪʃn/n.探险；远征shielding/ˈʃiːldɪŋ/n.屏蔽；防护

The world's first half-marathon featuring humanoid robots is set to begin at 7:30 a.m. on Saturday in Beijing, with about 20 teams from across China ready to compete in a test of both technology and endurance.全球首个以人形机器人为特色的半程马拉松赛事将于周六上午7点30分北京开跑，来自全国各地的约20支队伍将齐聚一堂，角逐这项对技术和耐力的双重考验。The race, which includes human and humanoid robot runners, will begin in the Beijing Economic-Technological Development Area, also known as Beijing E-Town. Research institutes, universities and companies from Beijing, Shanghai, provinces of Guangdong and Jiangsu are among those fielding teams.这场由真人和人形机器人参赛的比赛将在北京经济技术开发区（亦称北京亦庄）拉开帷幕。来自北京、上海、广东和江苏等地的科研机构、高校和企业均派出参赛队伍参赛。"This marks the first time humanoid robots will undergo a comprehensive test in an open-field setting, facing long distances and complex environments," said Liang Liang, deputy director of the E-Town management committee.“这是人形机器人首次在开阔场地、长距离和复杂环境下接受全面测试，”亦庄管理委员会副主任梁靓说道。Teams have already arrived at the training base in E-Town to make final adjustments, he said. The event, in planning for four months, is designed to push the limits of robotic mobility in real-world conditions.他表示，各参赛队伍已经抵达亦庄市的训练基地进行最后的调试。这项筹备了四个月的赛事旨在挑战机器人在现实环境中的移动极限。The competition will adopt a timed race format. Teams can choose to either replace the batteries of a single robot or use a relay method, though each battery change comes with a 10-minute penalty—a measure aimed at encouraging innovation and teamwork, Liang said.比赛将采用计时赛制。参赛队伍可以选择更换同一台机器人的电池，也可以选择接力赛，但每次更换电池都会被罚10分钟。梁靓表示，此举旨在鼓励创新和团队协作。Although participating robots have undergone multiple simulated tests, organizers said the real course still presents significant uncertainties. Robots will have to navigate complex ground conditions, sudden wind gusts, fluctuating communication signals and various obstacles.尽管参赛机器人已经进行了多次模拟测试，但主办方表示，真实赛道仍然存在很大的不确定性。机器人必须应对复杂路况、突发强风、通信信号波动及多种障碍。"During the first road test last Wednesday, a robot slipped and produced abnormal data, forcing the team to urgently adjust its algorithms before completing the test," Liang said.“在上周三的首次路试中，一个机器人出现滑倒并产生异常数据，迫使团队在完成测试前紧急调整算法，”梁军说道。He described the race as an "extreme test" that will expose technical flaws and offer a foundation for future standardization.他将这场比赛描述为一次“极限测试”，它将暴露技术缺陷，并为未来的标准化奠定基础。The participating robots reflect a variety of design concepts and technological breakthroughs.参赛机器人体现了多种设计理念和技术突破。The "Tiangong" robot, standing 1.8 meters tall, features large strides, optimized joint torque and human motion data integration to achieve a more natural running gait.“天宫”机器人身高1.8米，拥有大步幅、优化的关节扭矩以及融合人类运动数据的系统，可实现更自然的跑步姿态。"The core significance of this event is to allow the public to vividly experience the progress of robotics," said Guo Yijie, technical lead of the Tiangong team. "The 21-kilometer distance will shatter the public's abstract understanding of robot capabilities."“本次赛事的核心意义在于让公众生动体验机器人技术的进步，”天宫团队技术负责人郭宜劼说道。“21公里的赛程将打破公众对机器人能力的抽象认知。”Noetix Robotics, a team from Beijing's Haidian district, has entered smaller robots designed for endurance. Their goal is for one robot to complete the entire race without replacement.来自北京海淀区的松延动力团队带来了专为耐力设计的小型机器人。他们的目标是让一个机器人完成整个比赛，无需替换。"As long as our robot crosses the finish line, it means a lot to us," said Jiang Zheyuan, founder of Noetix Robotics.“只要我们的机器人冲过终点线，对我们来说就意义非凡，”松延动力创始人姜哲源说道。Local residents are also enthusiastic about the race. Chu Han, a young robot enthusiast, called it "the embodiment of technological imagination".当地居民也对这场比赛充满热情。年轻的机器人爱好者楚涵称其为“科技想象力的体现”。"Regardless of the results, when a humanoid robot crosses the finish line, the footprints it leaves behind are more precious than any medal," Chu said.“无论结果如何，当一个类人机器人冲过终点线时，它留下的足迹比任何奖牌都更加珍贵，”楚涵说道。endurance/ɪnˈdjʊərəns/n.耐力navigate/ˈnævɪɡeɪt/v.驾驶；导航；设法应对algorithm/ˈælɡərɪðəm/n.算法；运算规则standardization/ˌstændədaɪˈzeɪʃn/n.标准化

Crew members of the Shenzhou XIX mission have conducted their third spacewalk outside the Tiangong space station, completing several assignments, according to the China Manned Space Agency.据中国载人航天工程办公室称，神舟十九号飞船机组人员在天宫空间站外进行了第三次太空行走，完成了多项任务。In a news release, the agency said that mission commander Senior Colonel Cai Xuzhe and crew member Lieutenant Colonel Song Lingdong returned to the Wentian science module at 8:50 pm on Friday after floating for nearly seven hours outside the colossal orbital station.该机构在一份新闻稿中表示，任务指挥员蔡旭哲大校和机组人员宋凌东中校在巨型轨道站外漂浮近七个小时后，于周五晚上8点50分返回问天科学舱。The third crew member, Lieutenant Colonel Wang Haoze, stayed inside Tiangong to provide support, it said.第三名航天员王浩泽中校留在天宫内，提供支持。With support from ground controllers and the use of a robotic arm, the team completed all their assigned tasks, including installing a space debris shield and external assistance devices and checking the condition of extravehicular equipment, the agency said.该机构表示，在地面控制人员的支持和机械臂的帮助下，团队完成了所有分配的任务，包括安装空间碎片防护罩和外部辅助设备，以及检查舱外设备状况。The spacewalk was the 20th carried out by Chinese astronauts. It also marked the fifth time Cai participated in such task, making him the first Chinese to have achieved this.此次太空行走是中国航天员进行的第20次太空行走。同时也是蔡旭哲第五次执行太空行走任务，这使他成为首位五次完成此项任务的中国人The 48-year-old carried out two spacewalks during his first orbital journey in the Shenzhou XIV mission in the second half of 2022.这位48岁的航天员在2022年下半年执行神舟十四号任务时，完成了两次太空行走。During the current ShenzhouXIX（nineteen） mission, Cai made his third spacewalk with Song on Dec 17, spending more than nine hours outside Tiangong. That operation set a world record for the longest spacewalk, exceeding the previous one of eight hours and 56 minutes set by United States astronauts in March 2001.在当前的神舟十九号任务中，蔡旭哲与宋凌东于12月17日进行第三次太空行走，在天宫外停留了9个多小时。这次行动创下了最长太空行走的世界纪录，超过了2001年3月美国宇航员创下的8小时56分钟的纪录。His fourth spacewalk took place on Jan 20 and 21, also with Song.他的第四次太空行走于1月20日和21日进行，宋宇航员也参与其中。The Shenzhou XIX trio, the eighth group of inhabitants of the Chinese space station, were launched on Oct 30 by a Long March 2F carrier rocket from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwestern China and arrived at the orbital outpost later that day to take over from their peers in the Shenzhou XVIII flight.神舟十九号的三人组是中国空间站的第八批驻员，他们于10月30日通过长征二号F运载火箭从位于中国西北部的酒泉卫星发射中心发射，并于当天晚些时候抵达轨道站，接替神舟十八号航天员。Since their arrival, Cai's crew have been engaged in a host of science and technology tasks that progressed smoothly. The crew is expected to return to Earth in late April or early May, according to the space agency.自抵达以来，蔡旭哲的机组人员一直从事一系列科学技术任务，进展顺利。据该航天机构透露，机组人员预计将于四月底或五月初返回地球。Senior Colonel大校Lieutenant Colonel（陆军）中校debrisn.碎片extravehicularadj.（航天器）舱外的colossaladj.巨大的orbitaladj.轨道的spacewalkn.太空行走

(25:00)③China's Caixin Manufacturing PMI peaked at 50.8 in February, marking the highest point in three months. (32:31)④China's Tiangong space station is set to host its first foreign astronaut in the coming years. (43:23)

China's Tiangong space station is expected to welcome its first foreign visitor—a Pakistani astronaut who will likely become the first from the nation to fly in outer space, according to a heavyweight cooperation agreement.根据一项重量级合作协议，中国天宫空间站将迎来首位外国访客——一名巴基斯坦航天员，其很可能成为该国首位进入太空的人。The agreement, signed by the China Manned Space Agency and Pakistan's Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission at a ceremony in Islamabad on Friday, covers the bilateral efforts to select and train Pakistani astronauts and then send some of them to China's Tiangong space station, which has been in orbit for nearly four years.2月28日，中国载人航天工程办公室与巴基斯坦太空与高层大气研究委员会在伊斯兰堡举行仪式，正式签署《关于选拔、训练巴基斯坦航天员并参与中国空间站飞行任务的合作协议》，双方将共同努力，选拔训练巴基斯坦航天员，并将其中部分航天员送往已在轨运行近四年的中国天宫空间站。Its signing, witnessed by Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, marks the first time for China to help a foreign nation select and train astronauts, and also the first time for Tiangong to expect a non-Chinese visitor, the agency said in a news release.中国载人航天工程办公室发布新闻称，巴基斯坦总理夏巴兹·谢里夫见证了协议签署，这标志着中国首次帮助外国选拔训练航天员，天宫空间站将迎来首位外籍航天员造访。It said the two sides will spend about one year to complete the selection process and then send the Pakistani candidates to China to receive comprehensive and systematic training. It did not mention whether the selection has begun or when it will start.新闻指出，双方将利用一年左右的时间完成选拔工作，巴基斯坦航天员将在中国接受全方位的系统训练。但选拔工作是否已经开始或何时开始尚未公布。After the Pakistani trainees are ready, one of them will be chosen as the first foreign crew member to fly with Chinese astronauts toward Tiangong space station and spend a short-term stay inside the colossal spacecraft, currently orbiting Earth at about 400 kilometers above the ground, the agency noted.中国载人航天工程办公室表示，在巴基斯坦受训人员准备就绪后，将选择其中一人作为首位外籍航天员，与中国航天员一道进入天宫空间站短期驻留。目前天宫空间站在距地面约400公里的近地轨道运行。Until now, the highest altitude any Pakistani citizen has ever achieved is about 87.4 km, which was reached by female polar adventurer and artist Namira Salim during a 55-minute suborbital journey arranged by British-American aerospace company Virgin Galactic on Oct 6, 2023.迄今为止，巴基斯坦公民到达的最高高度约为87.4公里，这一纪录由巴基斯坦女性极地探险家和艺术家纳米拉·萨利姆创造。2023年10月6日，她在英美航空航天公司维珍银河的安排下进行了55分钟的亚轨道飞行。It is commonly recognized that the Karman line, at an altitude of 100 km above sea level, is the start of outer space and the threshold for orbital flight.国际上普遍认为，位于海拔100公里处的卡门线是外太空与地球大气层的分界线，也是进入轨道飞行的最低高度。The signing of the cooperation agreement has created fresh opportunities and set a model for more developing countries to engage in international manned space collaboration. It is expected to inspire nations worldwide to join hands in exploring the mysteries of the universe and collectively forging a new chapter in advancing shared interests for the benefit of all humanity, according to the release.据新闻表示，这次合作协议的签订，为更多发展中国家参加国际载人航天合作提供了新机遇和范例，将激励更多国家携手探索宇宙奥秘，共同在造福全人类的道路上书写新的篇章。Since the launch of Tiangong's first component in April 2021, Chinese space officials have floated the idea of selecting and sending foreigners to the space station.自2021年4月天宫空间站首个组件发射后，中国航天官员就提出了选拔派遣外国航天员进入空间站的想法。Key project leaders such as Yang Liwei, the first Chinese astronaut in space and now a deputy chief planner of the country's manned spaceflights—and Lin Xiqiang, deputy head of the China Manned Space Agency—have said several times that China is open to international cooperation on its space station.中国首位航天员、中国载人航天工程副总设计师杨利伟和中国载人航天工程办公室副主任林西强等关键项目负责人多次表示，中国对空间站国际合作持开放态度。Chen Shanguang, another senior official in the country's manned space program, said in February 2023 that "multiple countries have told China that they hope to send their astronauts to Tiangong".2023年2月，中国载人航天工程高级官员陈善广表示，“已有多个国家向中国表示希望派遣航天员入驻天宫”。Pang Zhihao, an expert on space exploration technology and a renowned writer on spaceflight, said that the Pakistani trainees will need to undergo a series of stringent training and tests before qualifying themselves for actual spaceflight.空间探测技术专家、著名航天作家庞之浩表示，巴基斯坦受训人员在具备实际飞行资格前，需经历一系列严格训练和测试。"Of course, the first and foremost lesson they need to take is the Chinese language. The language to be spoken inside a Chinese station is naturally Chinese. Second, though they must have had good physical and psychological qualities, they still need to train very hard to make their body and mind perfectly prepared for a space mission. This is especially important if some of the Pakistani trainees were not selected from among pilots. They must learn how to eat, drink, sleep and deal with personal hygiene in microgravity, which poses a huge challenge to anyone flying into space," Pang said.庞之浩说：“当然，他们首先需要上中文课。在中国空间站内自然要说中文。其次，尽管他们必须具备良好的身心素质，但仍需刻苦训练，全身心为太空任务做好充分准备。这对部分非飞行员出身的巴基斯坦受训人员尤为重要。他们必须学会如何在微重力环境下进食、饮水、睡觉、处理个人卫生，这对任何进入太空的人来说都是巨大挑战。”After arriving at the space station, the selected Pakistani astronaut will likely carry out at least one scientific experiment designed by Pakistani researchers, according to the expert.据专家介绍，入选的巴基斯坦航天员抵达空间站后，将可能开展至少一项由巴基斯坦研究人员设计的科学实验。Another Chinese spaceflight expert who wished to remain anonymous said that the new agreement is a very good example for space cooperation between developing countries and for South-South cooperation.另一位不愿透露姓名的中国航天专家表示，这项新协议为发展中国家进行航天合作以及南南合作提供了很好的范例。"It will effectively boost Pakistan's social development and help it become an emerging force in the international space arena," he said.他说：“这将有效促进巴基斯坦的社会发展，助力其成为国际航天领域的新兴力量。”stringentadj.严格的，苛刻的

Day four of the truce reveals grim discoveries in Gaza, with 120 bodies found in bombed homes. While over 2,400 humanitarian aid trucks have entered the enclave, challenges persist. The aid flow offers some relief, but Gaza's recovery remains overshadowed by the devastation of Israel's 15-month brutal war. Türkiye declared a national day of mourning after a devastating fire at the Grand Kartal Hotel in Bolu claimed at least 70 lives and injured 51 others. President Erdogan expressed condolences and vowed accountability for the tragedy at the popular ski resort. Calling for unity and compassion, he urged all sectors to respect the nation's grief during this difficult time. As rescue operations concluded, the country reflected on the immense loss and renewed calls for safety measures. Donald Trump kicks off his new presidency with a bold move, firing 1,000 opponents in his administration. His late-night Truth Social post announced the dismissal of key figures, including retired General Mark Milley. While Trump pushes to reshape the government, critics and even religious leaders urge him to prioritise unity and compassion, especially for immigrants. A report reveals that children were held in secret detention centres during Sheikh Hasina's tenure as Bangladesh's prime minister. Babies were reportedly used as leverage during interrogations, with mothers denied basic needs like milk. The commission investigating enforced disappearances uncovered multiple cases, including a pregnant woman beaten in custody. Hasina, now in exile after a student-led revolution, faces arrest for crimes against humanity. Chinese astronauts aboard the Tiangong space station produced oxygen and rocket fuel components through artificial photosynthesis. Using semiconductor catalysts, the Shenzhou-19 crew converted carbon dioxide into oxygen and ethylene, a key fuel ingredient. These experiments, crucial for long-term space survival, are part of China's push for a crewed moon mission by 2030.

China's cargo spacecraft Tianzhou-8 has docked with the Tiangong space station, around three hours after its launch.

The Aviation Industry Corp of China is a major hardware supplier to the People's Liberation Army Air Force, Navy and Ground Force. And now, it has earned a new client — the China Manned Space Agency.中国航空工业集团有限公司是中国人民解放军空军、海军和陆军的主要硬件供应商。现在，它又赢得了一个新客户——中国载人航天工程。A reusable cargo spaceplane, one of the company's latest products, has gained the AVIC a contract from the space agency, which runs China's crewed spaceflights.中国航空工业集团的最新产品——可重复使用货运航天飞机，为中国航空工业集团赢得了中国载人航天工程的合同。According to the State-owned defense conglomerate, the Haolong space shuttle, designed by its Chengdu Aircraft Design and Research Institute in Sichuan province, aims to further reduce the cargo transportation costs involved in the operation of China's Tiangong space station.中国航空工业集团称，“昊龙”货运航天飞机由其位于四川省的成都飞机设计研究所自主设计研制，旨在进一步降低中国天宫空间站货物运输成本。Zhang Jichao, a deputy general manager of the AVIC, said at a news conference in Zhuhai, Guangdong province, on Monday that the space shuttle's conceptual plan has been finalized and researchers have started the design and production work for the first prototype's components.11月11日，中国航空工业集团副总经理张继超在广东珠海举行的新闻发布会上表示，航天飞机已完成方案设计，研究人员正全面开展首架样机部件的设计和生产工作。"Once put into service, Haolong will be launched by China's commercial carrier rockets to dock with the country's Tiangong space station. After completing its tasks, the shuttle will return to the Earth's atmosphere and make a horizontal landing on a runway like a plane," Zhang said.“‘昊龙'货运航天飞机投入使用后，将采用中国商业运载火箭发射，能够与我国空间站交会对接。完成货物上下行之后，可无动力自主返回，并水平着陆于指定机场。”张继超说。"The model features good reusability and can ferry materials back and forth between the space station and Earth," he added.张继超补充：“该货运航天飞机具备突出的可重复使用能力，可以在空间站和地球之间来回运输材料。”Zhang said the use of such a spaceplane will significantly cut the time that mission planners now have to wait for between two cargo flights, and reduce the cost of each flight.张继超介绍，使用该货运航天飞机将大大缩短任务规划人员现在必须在两次货运飞行之间等待的时间，并降低单次任务成本。Compared with traditional cargo vessels that cannot be reused, the shuttle will be able to bring goods back to Earth, which will greatly facilitate scientific experiments, according to the executive.张继超表示，与不能重复使用的传统货运飞船相比，该货运航天飞机可以将货物运回地球，这将极大地减轻科学实验的困难。Fang Yuanpeng, Haolong's chief designer, said the space shuttle will be about 10 meters long and eight meters wide. It will have two foldable curved wings, a vertical fin and will generate power via solar panels. During its docking with the space station, astronauts can move into it to take materials or store items, he noted.“昊龙”货运航天飞机总设计师房元鹏称，该货运航天飞机长约10米，宽8米。它有两个可折叠的弧形机翼和一个垂直鳍，并可通过太阳能电池板发电。他指出，在与空间站舱体连通后，航天员可以自由进出“昊龙”货舱以进行货物取用或物资存储。A model of the spacecraft will be displayed at the 15th China International Aviation and Aerospace Exhibition, which opens on Tuesday in Zhuhai and runs through Sunday.“昊龙”货运航天飞机将在中国航展亮相。第十五届中国国际航空航天博览会于11月12日在珠海开幕，并将持续至17日。Currently, China has only one model of cargo spaceship, Tianzhou, which is a product of the China Academy of Space Technology in Beijing. So far, seven Tianzhou vessels have been launched and six of them were used to transport supplies to the Tiangong space station.目前，中国只有一种货运飞船——天舟系列货运飞船，它是中国空间技术研究院的产品。迄今为止，中国已经发射七艘天舟货运飞船，其中六艘用于向天宫空间站运送物资。Orbiting Earth at a distance of about 400 kilometers, the Chinese space station has three permanent parts — a core module and two science capsules — and is regularly connected to several visiting crew and cargo spaceships.天宫空间站在高度约400公里的轨道上绕地球飞行，由一个核心舱和两个实验舱组成，支持载人飞船、货运飞船的定期对接和停靠。It has been manned by eight Chinese crews, including the incumbent Shenzhou XIX team. All of the crews' living and work necessities need to be transported by cargo vessels.包括现任神舟十九号乘组在内的八名中国航天员曾在此驻留。所有乘员的生活和工作必需品都需要通过货运飞船运输。horizontal landing水平着陆reusableadj．可重复使用的space shuttle航天飞机incumbentadj. 现任的，在职的

The International Space Station will be decommissioned in 2030 and crash down into the Pacific Ocean, ending more than three decades of international cooperation. Launched in the wake of the Cold War, the ISS is seen as a triumph of global diplomacy between the US, Russia and other nations. Its demise will mark the end of an era.Nasa has awarded contracts to commercial companies to develop potential successors to the ISS, and maintain a U.S. presence in low earth orbit. Meanwhile Russia and India have said they plan to launch their own individual stations, and China has already got its own space station, Tiangong.

*) Israeli strikes hit Gaza hospitals, many Palestinians killed Heavy bombardment from Israeli forces early Monday hit Gaza hard, killing many Palestinians and leaving countless others injured. The scene was devastating, with widespread destruction across several neighbourhoods. According to Wafa news agency, Israeli artillery strikes took a heavy toll — lives lost, people hurt, and some still trapped under rubble. Rescue teams are scrambling to find survivors, but no official numbers have been released yet. Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahia also came under fire — the nursery was damaged, and a child was injured. And at the Indonesian Hospital, a drone strike sent patients and staff into a panic, creating a chaotic and terrifying scene. *) Swiss intelligence exposes PKK's secret operations Switzerland's intelligence service has dropped a bombshell — the PKK, a group labelled as a terrorist organisation by Türkiye, the US and the EU, has been running secret operations right under their noses. According to a fresh report from Switzerland's Federal Intelligence Service, or FIS, the PKK has been using Swiss soil to raise money, spread its propaganda and even run terrorist training camps. The PKK has been in a violent campaign against Türkiye for 40 years, leading to over 40,000 deaths, including civilians. The FIS report makes it clear: the PKK is active within Switzerland, recruiting young Kurdish refugees and preparing them for actions against the Turkish military. *) UN warns of ‘dangerous escalation' over potential N Korean troops in Russia UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres is raising the alarm over reports that North Korean troops may have joined Russia, possibly heading toward the battlefields in Ukraine. His spokesperson, Stephane Dujarric, conveyed his concern on Sunday, saying Guterres is “very concerned” about reports of North Korean forces potentially being deployed to Ukraine's conflict zone. According to US intelligence, North Korean troops have shown up around Russia's Kursk border region. Interestingly, neither North Korea nor Russia has denied these reports. *) Maia Sandu declares victory in Moldova's presidential runoff election Moldova's pro-EU President Maia Sandu declared a win on Sunday in the country's tense presidential runoff, with almost all votes counted. She held a strong lead with 54 percent, defeating her pro-Russian rival, Alexandr Stoianoglo. Sandu, a former World Bank economist, declared in her victory speech that “Moldovans have given a lesson in democracy, worthy of history books”. Sandu's win is being seen as a huge boost for Moldova's pro-Western government and her vision of closer ties with Europe, steering Moldova one step closer to the EU. *) Chinese crew returns after 6-month mission on Tiangong space station After six months aboard China's Tiangong space station, the Shenzhou 18 crew has made a safe return. The spacecraft's return capsule touched down in northern China on Sunday, wrapping up an intense mission in space. The China Manned Space Agency confirmed that its astronauts landed at the Dongfeng site in Inner Mongolia. Since their launch on April 25, they have been working and living aboard the Tiangong.

China's Shenzhou-19 astronauts are now inside the Tiangong Space Station together with the Shenzhou-18 crew, who will head home after handing over the work(01:04). China has rejected EU tariffs on Chinese-made EVs and expressed hope for a solution through ongoing negotiations(09:24). And China's ambassador to the United Nations has encouraged the Security Council to explore more actions for a ceasefire in Gaza(17:40).

Ce mercredi 30 octobre, la Chine a envoyé trois astronautes – deux hommes et une femme – dans sa station spatiale, située en orbite terrestre basse. Leur mission, Shenzhou-19, prévue pour durer plus de six mois, représente une nouvelle étape du programme spatial chinois, dont l'un des objectifs est de poser un pied sur la Lune à horizon 2030, avant que les États-Unis et leurs alliés y retournent. Officiellement, la Chine dépense l'équivalent de 15 milliards de dollars par an dans ses programmes spatiaux. Officieusement, les observateurs du secteur estiment qu'en prenant en compte notamment les programmes spatiaux à visée militaire, les dépenses spatiales chinoises oscilleraient plutôt entre 20 et 25 milliards de dollars. Loin devant l'Europe, mais encore derrière les États-Unis.Ce mercredi, trois astronautes – deux hommes et une femme – ont décollé depuis Jiuquan, dans le nord-ouest de la Chine, vers la station spatiale Tiangong. Leur mission, prévue pour durer un peu plus de six mois, est une nouvelle étape dans la stratégie spatiale de Pékin.Tester des briques imitant le sol lunaireMême si ce n'est pas le principal objectif de la mission Shenzhou-19, pendant leur séjour dans l'espace, les trois astronautes chinois vont en profiter pour tester des briques fabriquées avec des matériaux qui imitent le sol lunaire. Il s'agit d'étudier si le sol de la planète peut être utilisé pour fabriquer une base sur place, sans avoir besoin d'apporter tous les matériaux depuis la Terre, ce qui serait long et cher. La Chine espère poser un pied sur la Lune avant 2030 et y construire une station avant 2035.Viser la Lune, agacer les États-UnisL'intérêt des deux grandes puissances pour la Lune s'explique avant tout par des motivations géopolitiques. La Chine veut prouver qu'elle est capable d'y envoyer des astronautes et, par la même occasion, défier son rival américain. Les États-Unis, eux, perçoivent plutôt la Lune comme une étape intermédiaire vers Mars. Mais le calendrier de la Nasa a été repoussé à plusieurs reprises en raison de difficultés techniques rencontrées par la fusée Starship de SpaceX, qui doit effectuer le voyage.Si les États-Unis restent nettement en avance d'un point de vue technologique, le prochain humain à poser un pied sur la Lune pourrait donc parler mandarin, affirme Stefan Barensky, rédacteur en chef du magazine Aerospatium : « Il y a très peu de chance que les Chinois ne se posent pas sur la Lune vers 2030, voire avant. Les Américains essaient de mettre en place des technologies beaucoup plus avancées. Mais les Chinois, en jouant sur des technologies [moins ambitieuses technologiquement] qu'ils maîtrisent progressivement ont un calendrier a priori beaucoup plus fiable. » Premier arrivé, premier servi ?Quelle que soit la première mission à aboutir, l'exploitation des ressources naturelles de la Lune et la répartition du territoire seront des enjeux particulièrement sensibles. L'eau, qui existe à l'état solide sur la planète, pourrait être utilisée pour les astronautes dans une station habitée pour cultiver quelques aliments ou bien pour produire du carburant avec l'hydrogène et l'oxygène qu'elle contient. La planète abrite aussi du fer ou encore du titane, qui pourraient servir à faire des pièces pour les fusées, par exemple pour une réparation. L'enjeu n'est pas tant d'exploiter ces ressources pour les ramener sur Terre, mais plutôt de les utiliser pour éviter d'apporter certains objets ou ressources depuis la Terre, chaque trajet étant long à préparer et très coûteux. Les fusées disposent d'un espace limité : chaque gramme ou chaque kilo économisé est précieux.L'installation de bases sur la Lune soulève aussi des questions de territorialité. Selon un accord de l'ONU de 1967, aucun pays ne peut en revendiquer la propriété, même partielle. Mais certains pays cherchent à réformer ou contourner ce principe : « Les États-Unis ou le Luxembourg estiment que, certes, on ne peut pas s'approprier le terrain, mais qu'il est possible de revendiquer ce que l'on extrait », souligne Stefan Barensky.Dans cette course, le pôle Sud lunaire, avec ses réserves en eau et son ensoleillement continu (utile pour produire de l'énergie solaire), constitue un emplacement stratégique pour implanter une base. Le premier arrivé aura plus de choix que le second.
