Fox News
China sent veteran astronaut Jing Haipeng into space with two first-time cadets, including one who is a civilian. They will spend five months at the Tiangong Space Station.
"We’re 20 years apart in age, which makes this a cross-generational team," Jing said Monday.
The astronauts will serve as the new crew for China’s space station, the Tiangong, as both the U.S. and China have announced plans to send astronauts to the moon as early as 2025 and 2030, respectively.
