Recalling more than 20 years ago, China's application to join the International Space Station was rejected. Now, looking at the "Tiangong" space station in the universe can't help but make Chinese people feel deeply moved. Some time ago, after an Italian female astronaut wrote down Chinese ancient Chinese texts in space, it aroused heated discussions among netizens at home and abroad, and also made her a "Internet celebrity" in China. He was also "liked" by Mao Ning, spokesperson of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Astronaut Samantha Christopherti became popular because of ancient Chinese essays
Why did Samantha write Chinese essays in space?
According to Guangming.com , Italian astronaut Samantha Christoforetti recently accepted an interview with a reporter from China International Television Station . When asked why he wrote this ancient sentence in space and what were his different feelings after learning that he became an "Internet celebrity" in the country?
Samantha replied that she would like to choose this poem to thank her friend of the sinologist who has lived in China for 30 years. She also said very modestly that the reason why she could choose such a good poem correctly is because she chose a good friend who knows Chinese literature very well.
A few days ago, Samantha wrote a sentence from the ancient Chinese text " Lanting Collection Preface " on her personal social account in Chinese, Italian and English: " Looking up at the universe, looking down at the prosperity of categories, so she can travel and enjoy the eyes, which is enough to make you a great audio-visual entertainment, and trust Coke. "
Samantha and China Aerospace did not begin today. 5 years ago, she participated in the maritime life-saving training organized by China. It is worth noting that this is the first joint training of Chinese and foreign astronauts in China. Seven years ago, the China-Europe Space Administration reached cooperation and signed an agreement in the field of manned space flight, and clearly required China and Europe to participate in each other's astronaut training activities. Samantha, as a member of the Chinese liaison team of the European Space Administration , often jointly formulated and implemented the astronaut training cooperation plan with her Chinese counterparts.

China Space Station always open to
China Space Station is the first time in history such a project has opened to all UN Member States. Simonetta Dipipo, director of the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs, once commented that China's open space station is an important step in responding to the UN's "Global Space Sharing" initiative , and it is also a " great example ".
The International Space Station is now seriously aging, and its retirement time is getting closer. At that time, there will be only one space station in space - China's " Tiangong ". In order to further research and explore space, the Chinese space station, which adheres to an open attitude, naturally became the first choice for all countries.
A long time ago, the space agencies of China and Europe reached a cooperation agreement on issues related to astronaut training. At the same time, since all the operating systems on the Chinese space station are marked in Chinese, some European astronauts have started to learn Chinese in order to get on the Chinese space station. In fact, China and Europe's cooperation in the field of aerospace can be traced back to the 1980s, and it has also been accelerating in recent years.
International Space Station has been disrepaired and has faced retirement
US version of Zhihu blogger maliciously smeared the "Tiangong"
Some time ago, there was a question on the US version of Zhihu about "Chinese space stations in China" that attracted much attention from the outside world. A blogger asked and slandered: China's newly launched spacecraft uses Chinese, which shows that China is a country with " super self-enclosed ". At the same time, they are trying to exclude scientists from other countries by using non-common language ? The accusation of
is purely false, but fortunately, many foreign netizens are also very capable of distinguishing right and wrong. In the reply below this post, we basically support China one-sidedly.
A netizen pointed out that China's aerospace equipment is all under the responsibility of Chinese engineers and scientists. What language should Chinese people use? And there are far more people speaking Mandarin worldwide than those speaking any other language. Why are they required to use the so-called "international" language in their space projects? This is simply too arrogant.
Another netizen pointed out the "double standards" in the United States incisively. When the United States was building an international space station, it was a problem that China still expected to use Western languages in its own space station.
After the International Space Station is retired, China's space station will become the only space station
China is also showing its "openness" to the outside world with practical actions. You should know that there are currently 9 projects of 23 entities including 7 countries has successfully become the first batch of selected projects in China's space station scientific experiments.
In addition, not long ago, my country reached its first cooperation with the UAE in the field of aerospace. my country's Chang'e-7 will help the UAE's lunar rover to land on the lunar surface, which is also one of the ironclad evidence that my country's space open rather than closed space.
In contrast, the United States has strictly banned any aerospace cooperation between China and the United States since the " Wolf Terms " came into effect. Now, I want to "counter" China is not open and closed in aerospace cooperation. After more than ten years of ban on exchanges, China has worked hard to become the "second seat" of the Global Space Administration, and the "Wolf Terms" have become a roadblock in front of American space.
At present, the Chinese space station is about to be completed. As the only space station in space in the future, it is only a matter of time before foreign astronauts participate. Compared with foreign astronauts speaking Chinese in space, what the world is more looking forward to is that more foreign astronauts appear in the Chinese space station and take the first commemorative photo. will better reflect the spirit of human unity and exploration and the broad mind of China's aerospace.
