On June 25, 2024, the spacecraft returned safely to Earth, landing in Inner Mongolia with 2 kilograms of precious moon samples! How cool is that? 🌌
2. Exploring the Deepest Oceans! 🌊
Meet Meng Xiang, China’s first deep-ocean drilling vessel designed and built entirely at home! Commissioned on November 17, 2024, this amazing ship can drill up to 11 kilometers deep under the ocean floor. That’s deeper than Mount Everest is tall! 🏔️ Imagine all the secrets of the Earth it could uncover! 🌍
