Mars mission inspires space fans in China – The West Australian
China is falling in love with space, inspired by the ruling Communist Party’s ambitious plans to launch humans into orbit and explore the moon and Mars.
Cui Tingting dyed her hair Mars red for the arrival of China’s spacecraft at the planet known in Chinese as the Fire Star.
“This is a great era for space, and the future of mankind lies in the exploration of outer space,” said Cui, director of the China Mars Society, the local chapter of a global advocacy network.
She hosted an online party on Wednesday night to wait for the announcement that the Tianwen-1 spacecraft, launched last July, had reached Mars orbit.
