The most updated news on China's space mission is China's second space lab, Tiangong-2, which is scheduled to be put into space on Sept 15, according to the China Manned Space Program Office. The space lab was transferred with its carrier rocket to the launch pad at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in Gansu province on Sept 9.

Tiangong-2, which can enable two astronauts to live in space for 30 days, can receive manned and cargo spaceships and will be used for testing systems and processes for space stays and refueling.

With China's marching on its path to space exploration, we may one day encounter goddess Chang'e, through unwieldy spacesuits, saying hi.
