China launches new crew to its space station to expand exploration

Quick Summary:

China built its own space station after being excluded from the International Space Station, mainly because of US concerns over the People's Liberation Army, the Chinese Communist Party's military arm's overall control over the space program.

China launched a new three-person crew to its orbiting space station early Wednesday as the country seeks to expand its exploration of outer space with missions to the moon and beyond.

The team of two men and one woman will replace the astronauts who have lived on the Tiangong space station for the last six months.
