China's Shenzhou 10 and its crew of three landed safely today, ending a successful 15-day mission. All the main goals of the mission seem to have been met, extending Chinese space capabilities.
Shenzhou 10 thus extends a remarkable human record. Objectively, spaceflight is perhaps the most dangerous, unforgiving activity humans do, and lives have been lost during launch and re-entry into the atmosphere. Yet, after more than fifty years of human spaceflight, in various spacecraft, no one has died in space. That's an incredible testament to what educated, dedicated men and women can achieve.
