The astronauts on China's Shenzhou-19 mission, Cai Xuzhe and Song Lingdong, completed a nine-hour spacewalk, surpassing the previous record set in 2001 by American astronauts.
While admiring the wondrous views in space, we also had a deep feeling of the weight and greatness of the manned space endeavor, one astronaut remarked.
Chinese space planners have ambitions to use the Tiangong mission as a steppingstone for future manned lunar missions, showcasing their aspirations in space exploration.
The Chinese Manned Space Agency has not yet claimed the spacewalk as a world record, possibly awaiting international validation of the achievement.
