1. Commander Zhai Zhigang , you are our country’s astronaut who has made the most spacecraft outings. You said “feeling good” during all three spacecraftings. Can you share your feelings at this moment?

"Feeling good" is not exclusive to me and our crew. Every astronaut in our group has said "feeling good". Behind every "feeling good" is the support of hundreds of millions of Chinese people for our aerospace industry; behind every "feeling good" is the hard work of the entire project; behind every "feeling good" is the support of the motherland and the The people trust us; behind every "feeling good" is the close cooperation between our crews and the individual efforts. Whether it is training on the ground or flying in the sky, we can maintain this "feeling good" state because of the development of our country's manned space industry. Our "feeling good" will definitely continue.

2. Wang Yaping, as the first female astronaut to leave the spacecraft, how do you feel about working with China's first male astronaut to leave the spacecraft? As the first female astronaut to station on the Chinese Space Station, you have also set a new record for Chinese astronauts’ flight time in orbit. Compared with the " Shenshi " Feitian, do you have any new thoughts, new experiences, or new attempts when performing the mission of the space station?

This is my first time, and it is also the first extravehicular mission for our Chinese female astronauts. I am very lucky. The commander said that Shenzhou 7 mentioned "feeling good" when performing the space station's extravehicular mission. I also "feel good" very much. I felt like wearing a new generation of extravehicular spacesuit and performing the space station's extravehicular mission together with the commander. , really lucky. This mission also earned us the title of "feeling good" crew. Our commander was experienced and determined, which gave us confidence in successfully completing the mission and allowed me to better enjoy the process of leaving the cabin.

The moment I stepped out of the cabin, I felt like I had opened the door to another world, floating out of the cabin, into the vast universe, and enjoying the heavens beyond. The beauty of the universe shocked me, the depth of the universe was unexpected, and the blue planet we live in hangs in the middle, calm, beautiful and peaceful. It is an experience and feeling that I have never had before. Compared with the Shenzhou-10 mission, this mission gave me a sense of time travel. This time travel not only comes from the new extravehicular space, but also comes from the all-round upgrade of our flight platform, from our various The comprehensive innovation of science and technology comes from the qualitative leap in our flight time.

More than 180 days is a long time. We have carried out a large number of scientific experiments in space, jointly carried out two extravehicular missions, and also carried out two " Tiangong Classroom ". We also spent our own Space Sunday in space. , New Year's Day, Spring Festival. Enjoy the magic and beauty of weightlessness in space, such as jumping rope, playing Tai Chi, etc., and gained a lot of happy leisure time in space. We have our own independent bedrooms and advanced studios on the space station, and both working and living conditions have been improved. We also brought tie-dye , guzheng and other traditional Chinese culture to the sky, lived in a veritable Chinese heavenly palace, and always felt the happiness and pride of being Chinese astronauts.

3. May I ask Ye Guangfu : CGTN The reporter interacted on Twitter with Samantha Christoforetti, the Italian astronaut who trained with you. Samantha expressed her greetings to you. Do you have anything to say to Samantha? The Chinese Space Station welcomes foreign astronauts to visit. What are your expectations?

First of all, I would like to congratulate Samantha on being able to fly into space again and travel through the sky. I also wish her and the entire mission team a smooth and successful completion of the mission. Exploring space is our common cause as human beings. We hope to bring the best qualities and the most friendly atmosphere of mankind to space, so that the future space of mankind will be full of trust, beauty and hope. The Chinese Space Station welcomes foreign astronaut friends to join us, and I very much look forward to working with you all to create a coveted cooperative flight on the Chinese Space Station one day.

4. I would like to ask Zhai Zhigang: When you were leaving the cabin on the Shenzhou 7 mission, you encountered an emergency situation where the cabin door could not be opened and there was a fire alarm in the orbital module . Did you encounter any difficulties during this mission? When you returned, I heard you say, "Returning is also very exciting." Can you tell us about the situation you encountered at that time?

This time we went from launch to orbit and return, and the whole process was very smooth. When we fly in orbit for 6 months, we will become more sensitive to noise, excess weight, and impact. During the entire return process of

, it seems that we have no action in the picture, but we feel the impact again and again in the return cabin , and it is a continuous impact. Especially at the end, our return capsule changed from single-point suspension to double-point suspension, which was a huge change. With every movement, our hearts also move, and with every heartbeat, our safety becomes greater and greater. None of these movements and impacts can be missing. During the return process of our Shenzhou spacecraft , the return speed of the spacecraft decreased rapidly in a short period of time, and the entire return process was very exciting.

5. Let me ask Wang Yaping: We know that the crew of the "God Thirteen" is very busy in orbit. Under such circumstances, you still conducted two space lessons. As the first space teacher, do you have a special attachment to children? Can you share with everyone your experience of teaching in space on the space station?

In my country's manned missions, every first time is very challenging, such as the first time entering the space station, the first space teaching, etc., which means a lot of verification and preparation on the ground. For the first time teaching in space, we successfully built a bridge between aerospace and classroom for the children. At the same time, the enthusiasm of the children also gave me a strong motivation to fly again and teach in space again. Some people say that education is like one cloud pushing another cloud. In this process, I feel that I am both the one pushing and the one being pushed. During this Shenzhou 13 mission, we had two "Tiangong Classrooms". While teaching the children, we could also see the pictures of the children in the ground classroom in real time. The children had light in their eyes and love in their hearts. There is knowledge in the mind, full of curiosity about the world, and full of hope for the future.

We have opened the door from the Chinese Space Station to the ground classroom for them, and it has also aroused children's various whims, desire for knowledge and imagination about space technology. After returning to the ground, I look forward to having more interactions with the children, being able to be a space teacher in their minds forever, allowing them to love and understand aerospace more, and I also look forward to them having the opportunity to participate in our work one day. During the construction of China's space station, we have developed and applied our space station better and better and more and more.

6. Ye Guangfu: The Chinese space station is about to be completed. How do you feel about this? What are your expectations and blessings for the Shenzhou 14 astronauts and crew who are on a "business trip in space" and building the space station?

The Chinese Space Station is our long-awaited "space home". In order to build a "space home", generations of our astronauts have worked hard and worked hard, and finally realized such a space dream step by step, lighting up this space in space. A shining star, the Chinese space station will also become a space experiment platform that benefits all mankind. This is indeed something that we Chinese people should be proud of. Since the space station mission, from the Shenzhou 12 mission to the present, we have experienced three crews and two baton handover flights. In the future, the Shenzhou 14 crew and the Shenzhou 15 crew will also fly on the space station. On-orbit handover. One person can travel quickly, but many people can travel far. Each of our crews does not fly independently. Each group will do its best to complete its own flight mission and strive to pass the baton to the next group.The crews of "God 14" and "God 15" will experience the important historical moment of the completion of the third cabin of the China Space Station in orbit. We believe that you will successfully complete the mission, and we look forward to waving the national flag with you at that moment to celebrate the success!

7. I would like to ask Zhai Zhigang: What preparations and handover work did the three astronauts do for the Shenzhou 14 crew to settle in the space station before returning to Earth? What exchanges did you have with the crew of Shenzhou 14?

Before our crew returned, we conducted a two-way video between the sky and the ground with the crew of 14. We used handheld cameras and live broadcasts to carefully communicate about the work and life on the space station as well as the location and usage techniques of all facilities and equipment for various scientific experiments. and communication.

At the same time, we made it very clear where we put the things in the sky that are not easy to operate, as well as some tools we used. After landing and returning, we had a face-to-face exchange with the crew of 14 about our life and work experiences in the six months in space.

They are interested in little things in the sky, and they have been trained well because of all the normal operations and experiments. In fact, we have a very small detail in heaven, a small thing that we think is particularly tiring to do: cutting our toenails. Firstly, the foot cannot be retracted; secondly, the nails on the foot cannot be allowed to fly around. Similar life tips like this include the postures we adopt, the methods we adopt during the more than 180 days of sleep in heaven, and how to sleep soundly and sweetly. There are skills, and each person is different.

The crew of Shenzhou 14 had undergone comprehensive training and preparation before the flight. They were confident and capable of completing the mission well. I believe even more that they will definitely pick up the baton at the Chinese Space Station.

8. May I ask Wang Yaping: Not long after the three astronauts left for the expedition, the "Study to Power" learning platform received letters from students at Xishaping School in Sangzhi County, Hunan Province. This is a mountainous school. The children watched "Tiangong Classroom" , inspired the dream of spaceflight and science, and regarded the three astronauts as heroes in their hearts. Children want to know whether you have ever been bored, depressed, or lonely during your "space business trip". Have you ever encountered difficulties? How did you overcome them? To these children who harbor dreams of spaceflight, can you send them a "dream chasing" message?

has lived in space for more than 180 days. Psychological adjustment is indeed one of the biggest challenges we have to face, but we have overcome this difficulty well, successfully completed the mission and returned to the ground.

I have summarized the following points. The first is that life has goals and actions will have direction. More than 180 days is a long time, but we will divide it into several small stages. Each stage is important. tasks, such as capsules, space connection, scientific experiments, space classrooms, etc.

The second is to focus on the present and cherish the present. Space flight is a dream that every astronaut is looking forward to. Every day we live in space is actually living in a dream, so we cherish every minute and every second in space and will try our best to complete it. In every task, strive to leave no regrets.

The third is to face difficulties head-on and be positive and optimistic. People say that "the wise enjoy water and the benevolent enjoy mountains." We astronauts are more "optimistic". For such a long time, we will inevitably feel lonely, tired and homesick. In this mission, in addition to having professional ground personnel In addition to psychological support, I can also make phone calls and video connections with my family and comrades. Our crew members also encourage and support each other.

Our group traveled for more than 180 days and we spent it very happily. To these children who cherish the "aerospace dream", I want to say: as big as the heart is, the stage is as big as they are. Don't be afraid to think because of difficulties, but be diligent in doing it because you dare to think. If you have great ambitions in your heart, you can pick up the stars with your hands. All unknowns are worth exploring, and all limitations can be transcended. I hope you love your hometown, study hard, and run towards your dreams step by step, down-to-earth. There will be difficulties in the process, but as long as you persist and don't give up and be the best version of yourself, you will be able to reap a happy life.

9. I would like to ask Ye Guangfu: As our country’s first crew member who stayed in orbit for 6 months, I saw that you were in good spirits after returning. Especially since Ye Guangfu’s first flight was only for such a long time, what special measures and protective measures did he take? ?

First of all, as my first flight, I am personally very happy that I can still maintain a good physical and mental condition after a six-month stay in orbit.

Of course, in order to ensure that we can continue to maintain a good physical and mental condition during our six-month-long space life, the entire mission team has also done enough work. This includes providing strong ground support support, formulating scientific and reasonable flight mission plans, improving on-orbit medical and health support measures, optimizing weight loss protection and on-orbit exercise programs, and enriching equipment and facilities for on-orbit exercise, such as space running. Desk, space bicycle, tensioner , respiratory muscle exerciser and so on. In addition, the security team also created multiple sets of space health exercises tailored for us. By implementing this series of plans and measures, we can further promote our good physical and mental condition in orbit, so that we can always feel good throughout the mission.

10. After completing this mission, they were praised and praised by the party and the people. Zhai Zhigang and Wang Yaping received the Space Meritorious Service Medal, and Ye Guangfu was awarded the honorary title of "Heroic Astronaut". How do you feel? Do you want to continue training to prepare for war? Are you ready to go to space again?

Zhai Zhigang: After every flight mission, every astronaut has received a high honor. So far, everyone is actively preparing for the war and preparing to fly. There are many flight missions now, some are preparing to fly, some are flying, and some are recovering afterward. As an astronaut, it is your bounden duty and unshirkable responsibility to perform flight missions. We love and cherish the profession of astronauts even more. The first batch of astronauts are already very old, and they will have fewer and fewer opportunities to fly in the future. I am also working hard to recover and actively recovering, and now my physical condition is very good. Being able to go into space for the motherland is the pride of every astronaut.

Wang Yaping: Thank you to the party and the people for their trust and praise. The honor belongs to all scientific research workers and the entire project. They jointly built our Feitian ladder and created the cornerstone of Feitian's success. As an astronaut, when on the ground, the motherland is home and space is a dream; when in space, 天宫 is home and the motherland is a dream. Now that I have flown into space twice, it is still my biggest dream to return to my home on the ground and to be able to fly into space again. In fact, the moment we returned to the ground, we were already prepared, cleared everything, started active recovery, and were ready to return to training as soon as possible. Please rest assured that the party and the people will live up to our time, our heavy responsibilities, and our times, and continue to move forward toward the stars and the sea!

Ye Guangfu: First of all, I would like to thank the party and the people for their praise and praise, thank you for your attention and support for the manned space industry, and thank you for your concern and love for our aerospace workers. I know that these praises are given to our manned space industry and our entire aerospace team. Thanks to the leadership and exploration of the aerospace predecessors, and to the entire mission team for supporting and assisting us, we are lucky to catch up with this great era, and it is precisely because of this that we can have such an opportunity to conquer space. I also know that honor can only represent the past. As a Chinese astronaut, I must never forget my original intention and mission on the way to space, and continue to move forward with my heart and soul for flying, and live up to the great era and beautiful youth.

I would like to ask Commander Zhai Zhigang, you are our country’s astronaut who has made the most spacecraft outings. You said “I feel good” in all three spacecrafting activities. Can you share your feelings at this moment? - DayDayNews
