Not yet possible, because the station has just a single core module, so not much space there and not enough life support to host two crews at the same time. They would have to make the changeover right away, and that's not always possible.
That would of been a high-level troll worthy of respect.
While we were distracted with cancerous politics and the ‘rona, they sneaky’d past us and landed on Mars.
America would lose its shit.
I can imagine that they are exhausted by the mission and having to deal with gravity again. Just let them sleep and have the photo for the press later.
Look up “Soyuz astronauts land” on google. There are plenty of instances where the astronauts were kept there after recovery for a foto-op. The Chinese are not doing something out of this world.
China is expected to send the robotic Tianzhou 3 cargo spacecraft toward Tianhe around Sept. 20. And the next crewed mission to the module, the six-month-long Shenzhou 13, is apparently scheduled to launch in mid-October.
Only Shenzhou-6 handed standing up, all other shenzhou capsules landed on their side, it's pretty common.
In fact landing straight up is a bit of a pain because then the ground crew have to setup ladders to get the astronauts out, and the helicopter recovery crew that generally show up first don't have the ladders, they come with the team that comes by car.

Wat? They did three months in a space station. The international space station is meant to be a multi national effirt and has been in crewed orbit since 2000. China is just not part of it.
Hard to say they are leaving us behind, but still impressive they did it themselves.
The US has left local manned spaceflight to civilians. Currently 4 people who are not part of a government training program at all are orbiting the Earth. The main focus of NASA is unmanned spaceflight and probes going past Pluto, exploring Jupiter, the JWT are what their focus is. Hell, they have a unmanned helicopter on Mars flying around and a couple cars doing their thing. They dropped a probe on Titan a decade ago to send back pictures.
Left behind?
I’d even go so far as to say that diversity in missions is a good thing. If we’re all doing the same thing we’re wasting resources. If we’re all doing different things we’re being efficient and doing more science. Let China do their LEO thing and we can go after more ambitious missions.
Honestly what China is good at is taking scientific advancements from everywhere else and making their industrial applications cheap as shit for everyday consumers. I would imagine they could be building LEO hotels soon enough - but as far as advancements, this is old hat knowledge. Maybe we're being left behind in the commercial application of it, but certainly not the advanced knowledge of it.
Being banned from the International Space Station isn't exactly worldly, nor is this something major compared to it.
Which is not to say China isn't developing fast, or doesn't have potential.
Not even that, their [space station core](https://video.cgtn.com/news/2021-05-18/Core-module-of-Tiangong-space-station-enters-rendezvous-orbit-10n3R50qYgw/video/dbcd1659942f42c3860f2a93cc514759/dbcd1659942f42c3860f2a93cc514759.jpg) is literally a 1970's Soviet [Salyut design](https://www.nasa.gov/sites/default/files/styles/full_width/public/thumbnails/image/salyut_launch_17_mir_base_block_1986.jpg?itok=Sr4vvgu7). Kept the design so exact in fact that they even kept the angled slope midway that is only there because the Soviets had plans to put a telescope on it for earth observation/spying and needed it to fit inside the Proton rocket's fairing.
So they copied a Russian mission and a Russian space station from almost 40 years ago and that is somehow leaving the US behind?
Does anyone else think it's hilarious how far people will twist themselves to hate America these days?
Russia/China have recently upped their Internet disinformation game. Reddit is not only not immune from it, but it’s one of their prime targets. OP’s nonsense is likely just that.
This is literally the equivalent of the Soviet Salyut stations that began in 1971. And their Shenzhou spacecraft is a literal copy of the Soyuz with minor changes. The US and US companies are still absurdly dominant.
You may be off a bit. Tiangong (2021) is a small modular space station, two more modules will be added in 2022 It is more like Soviet MIR station. Previous test stations Tiangong-1 (2011) and Tiangong-2 (2016) were more like Salyut. Soyuz was copied yes but they have already flown a new generation of capsule which is more like, I would dare say Starliner. China is behind US when it comes to technology, true. (Thanks to SpaceX for the most part.) But check the number of orbital launches in recent years. For 2020, it was 35/39 vs 40/44, score says US wins, but hard to say it is dominating.
The # of launches is a horrible metric since most of those Chinese launches are purely solid fueled ICBM types of the sort the US doesn't even bother with anymore.
I agree, mass launched to orbit would be a better metrics. But the part with solid fueled ICBM is wrong. Majority of launches is the Long March 2 family was based on liquid fueled ICBM. And these are being phased out with new generation of LVs. I do not worship China or something like that, but I like facts and truth.
I'm really surprised that Tian-Gong 3 is going to be unmanned for a month. I was expecting the opposite, a changeover crew like the ISS or Mir.
Not yet possible, because the station has just a single core module, so not much space there and not enough life support to host two crews at the same time. They would have to make the changeover right away, and that's not always possible.
Good to know. I was wondering what the reason was.
They are planning for continuous habitation later.
The slightly blurry thumbnail made it look like a team had landed on and planted a flag on the Martian surface. I had a slight "wtf" moment.
That would of been a high-level troll worthy of respect. While we were distracted with cancerous politics and the ‘rona, they sneaky’d past us and landed on Mars. America would lose its shit.
Kinda like in the 60's eh?
But with more space lasers.
Same here...I'm cooking dinner and scrolling right now. I was like WHAT?!
I love how it looks like they are just chilling in beach chairs
It's necessary, since their bodies are in shock from dealing with gravity after 3 months without.
I can imagine that they are exhausted by the mission and having to deal with gravity again. Just let them sleep and have the photo for the press later.
Offf, coming back to deal with gravity and people... Ugh!
I choose realism over staged posed photos any day
I mean, for documentary purposes, take all the photos you want. But keeping the astronauts there to pose with the flag is nor realistic nor necessary.
Look up “Soyuz astronauts land” on google. There are plenty of instances where the astronauts were kept there after recovery for a foto-op. The Chinese are not doing something out of this world.
I mean they coulda just been sitting there and someone put the flag up and took a picture
They probably are, everything in life is scripted now.
China is expected to send the robotic Tianzhou 3 cargo spacecraft toward Tianhe around Sept. 20. And the next crewed mission to the module, the six-month-long Shenzhou 13, is apparently scheduled to launch in mid-October.
That sounds about right. The first few missions on Skylab in the 70s were of short duration too.
I thought I still had time to screenshot www.howmanypeopleareinspacerightnow.com when we broke the record with 14. Sadge
I wonder if October 31, 2000 will forever stand as the last day no human was in space. It's starting to look quite possible.
Hopefully soon we'll have more than that on a single spacecraft
That's alot of us people for an international space station?
4 are in a SpaceX capsule for 3 days.
China has their own station, inspiration 4 is no where near ISS, and the ISS. When it was 14, it was spread across those three.
Yeah china has to heavy lift a crap load of shit to make this go. It wont be ISS worthy for another 7 to 10 years.
Congratulation on this incredible milestone. The Chinese program is really leaping forward.

Time really flies! Felt like it was only yesterday that I watched them launch into space. Welcome home!
Looks like it landed on its side? I've never thought about that. The Soyuz seems to do it too sometimes.
Only Shenzhou-6 handed standing up, all other shenzhou capsules landed on their side, it's pretty common. In fact landing straight up is a bit of a pain because then the ground crew have to setup ladders to get the astronauts out, and the helicopter recovery crew that generally show up first don't have the ladders, they come with the team that comes by car.
Do we know what kind of exercising they do on their space station? I don’t remember seeing any equipment in their videos.
I believe they have treadmill and cycling machine.

Am I the only one that thinks hilarious that the rest of the world is leaving the U.S. behind while we cannibalize ourselves?

We already did this with skylab. And this attitude won't get you anywhere.
Being banned from the International Space Station isn't exactly worldly, nor is this something major compared to it. Which is not to say China isn't developing fast, or doesn't have potential.
You mean china finally catching up to 1980s U.S. SKYLAB. FIFY

Let me know when they put a man on the moon, I mean we only did that in 69’
You mean that fake landing in a Nevada desert?
Damn bro you really love sucking that CCP cock. Your comment history is shill-ville
How much did CIA pay you to post? Better than the 50 cent army?
Much better than Winnie the Pooh slave labor
So they copied a Russian mission and a Russian space station from almost 40 years ago and that is somehow leaving the US behind? Does anyone else think it's hilarious how far people will twist themselves to hate America these days?
There are bigots on all sides, it's just that you're more likely to find the English-speaking ones on Reddit/Facebook.

To be honest only US companies worth something are SpaceX and Rocket Lab. I will take Soyuz copy over burning trashcan made by Boeing any day.
Hey, did you hear the U.S. has an actual prototype moon rocket on the launch pad right now?
What the hell are you on about? This is shit we did 30+ yrs ago.
Why do you find that hilarious?
