China to send youngest-ever crew to space station<br /><br />The Shenzhou-17 module carrying the three space travelers is scheduled to blast off at 11:14 a.m. (0314 GMT) on Thursday, Oct. 26, 2023, from the Jiuquan launch site in China's arid northwest. The all-male trio will be led by Tang Hongbo -- in his forties -- on his first return mission to the Tiangong space station. He will be accompanied by Tang Shengjie and Jiang Xinlin, both in their mid-thirties and each making their maiden space voyages on the Shenzhou-17 mission. <br /><br />PHOTOS BY AFP<br /><br />Subscribe to The Manila Times Channel - https://tmt.ph/YTSubscribe <br /> <br />Visit our website at https://www.manilatimes.net <br /> <br />Follow us: <br />Facebook - https://tmt.ph/facebook <br />Instagram - https://tmt.ph/instagram <br />Twitter - https://tmt.ph/twitter <br />DailyMotion - https://tmt.ph/dailymotion <br /> <br />Subscribe to our Digital Edition - https://tmt.ph/digital <br /> <br />Check out our Podcasts: <br />Spotify - https://tmt.ph/spotify <br />Apple Podcasts - https://tmt.ph/applepodcasts <br />Amazon Music - https://tmt.ph/amazonmusic <br />Deezer: https://tmt.ph/deezer <br />Stitcher: https://tmt.ph/stitcher<br />Tune In: https://tmt.ph/tunein<br /><br />#TheManilaTimes <br />#tmtnews <br />#space <br />#china <br />#astronaut
