阅读理解China sent three astronauts (宇航员) to its space station on Tuesday. The astronauts flew in a rocket called Shenzhou-16. It's the first time a regular (普通的) person from China is going to space. It's really exciting!
The rocket took off from Jiuquan Satellite Launch Centre. The astronauts flew for more than six hours to reach the space station's central part, Tianhe. Everything went well, and the astronauts were feeling good now.
Many workers from the space program were there to see the rocket launch. Kids played and waved Chinese flags. People said "wow" loudly and wished the astronauts good luck as the rocket went up in smoke.
The crew has Jing Haipeng, who is on his fourth time to go to space. He's with Engineer Zhu Yangzhu and Professor Gui Haichao from Beihang University. Gui Haichao is the first regular person from China to go to space. China was the third country to send human into space.
The Shenzhou-16 crew will meet the Shenzhou-15 crew, who will return to Earth soon. They will do many experiments, and the space station was filled with water, clothes and food earlier this month.
China really wants to make its "space dream" come true. They plan to build a base on the moon by 2030. Lin from CMSA said, "The main goal is to have Chinese astronauts land on the moon and do experiments there."
