And China made space history again! In just 3.5 hours, the spaceship completed a record-breaking fast rendezvous and docking with the Tianhe core module, a major leap from the 6.5 hours needed during Shenzhou-20.
And four "space mice" (two male and two female) are also aboard the Shenzhou-21. Mice are crucial mammalian model organisms in life sciences research, sharing about 85 percent genetic similarity with humans.
Their small size, short reproductive cycle, and ease of genetic manipulation make them ideal for studying space physiology, pathology, growth, development, and reproduction, which is key to understanding long-term human survival, reproduction, and health in space.
Tiangong has previously hosted other small animals, including zebrafish and fruit flies.
Yesterday, the Reds thankfully beat Aston Villa 2-0 and moved back up to third place in the Premier League table after ending a four-game losing run.
Mohamed Salah struck in first-half injury time, capitalising on a huge blunder from Villans goalkeeper who played the ball right into the path of Liverpool's talisman.
That goal was Salah’s 250th for Liverpool, making him only the third player to reach that landmark for the club after Roger Hunt (285) and Ian Rush (346). It also drew him level with Wayne Rooney for most goal involvements for a single club in the Premier League (276).
Midfielder Ryan Gravenberch, back after missing three games with an ankle injury, sealed the three points in the 58th minute with a 20-yard shot that deflected in off a Villans player to leave the Birmingham side with no chance.
Arne Slot made 10 changes for his team’s humbling 3-0 loss to Crystal Palace in the EFL cup in midweek with more than one eye on this game, and the pair of Andy Robertson and Alexis Mac Allister were the only players from Wednesday to keep their place in the starting lineup.
