“I saw a movie about Mars Rescue before. It was dreamy. Now it’s about to become a reality.” Cao Yuming, a senior third-year student from Hangzhou No. 14 Middle School, was accompanied by his classmates, carrying an astronomical telescope and a camera to watch “Sky”. "Question One" probe launched.

Luo Ruxiao, from Gansu Province, filmed the rocket launch for the first time today. Even though his hometown is very close to Jiuquan, he never went to the scene to see the rocket launch. He and his friends came to the observation point on the beach near the Wenchang Space Launch Site at 7 o'clock this morning, and brought a telephoto lens, hoping to capture the wonderful moment when the rocket is dragging its long tail.
Ding Jiayi, a college student at Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, claims to be a "light enthusiast" in aerospace and is also the first time to watch a rocket launch live. He traveled thousands of miles with his friends and arrived in Wenchang, Hainan at 2 o'clock this morning to witness the rocket launch.

"Tianwen" comes from the long poems of the great Chinese poet Qu Yuan, which embodies the cultural heritage of exploring nature and space. In the prolonged applause on the shore of the South China Sea, "Tianwen No.1" took the Chinese history and human expectations to embark on a seven-month journey to Mars. (Finish)
