The Chinese authorities had to come out in defense of scientific experiments that taikonauts countries are implemented in Space station which the Asian country is building, after numerous Internet users questioned its veracity.

The internet asks them questions

Controversy arose in Chinese networks when a program aimed at encouraging children’s scientific curiosity could be seen as astronauts The Chinese used glass and water for one of their educational experiments, but netizens quickly discovered that neither the object nor the liquid behaved properly in zero gravity.

This led netizens to wonder if the video was actually recorded in space.

Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation Chinaamong other organizations, withdrew from the dispute to confirm that the images were true and were taken on December 9 by three members of the Shenzhou 13 manned mission, which returned to Earth last spring.

The agency clarified that, unlike the bags with one-way valve nozzles that astronauts typically use to drink water, the glass of water is an educational material that they prepared for classes and that it was attached to the table so that water could be drunk. experiment.

Science Behind

According to a previous report from Chinese News NetworkPan Zhihao, science communication expert, explained that there are many ways taikonauts they can “pour” water into a glass, for example by first sealing the glass with a membrane and then injecting water with a needle.

“If these netizens had seen the entire course, they would not have asked such questions, as immediately after, Wang Yaping picked up a glass from the table and pushed it, causing it to float in the air,” he wrote during the daily Science and technology daily.

Science experiments are part of Shenzhou’s manned missions, whose main task is to build a space station. Tiangongwhich should be ready by the end of this year, according to the original plans.

The Chinese space station, whose name means “Heavenly Palace” in Chinese, will weigh about 70 tons and is expected to operate for about 15 years at an altitude of about 400 kilometers above the Earth’s surface. EFE
