China’s Shenzhou-19 Mission: Paving the Way for Lunar Exploration

The Shenzhou-19 mission marks a historic launch as three astronauts, including China's only female spaceflight engineer, head to the Tiangong space station. This mission is crucial for China's ambitions to establish a lunar base by 2030, with experiments that could lead to sustainable construction on the Moon. As the global space race intensifies, we explore the implications of this mission for international collaboration and competition in space exploration.
