China tests human space endurance

China has launched a space mission called "Shenzhou-23" aimed at enhancing its lunar exploration capabilities. One crew member will stay aboard the Tiangong Station for an entire year—an unprecedented duration—to study the effects of prolonged space habitation on the human body, in preparation for China's manned mission to the Moon, which is expected by 2030. The mission also includes docking maneuvers with the Tiangong Station, as well as scientific experiments such as studying radiation impacts and bone loss. This marks an important step toward establishing a permanent lunar base by 2035.
