China launches Shenzhou-23 manned spaceship

China launched its Shenzhou-23 mission on Sunday (May 24), which will see a Chinese astronaut spend a full year in orbit for the first time. China has sent astronauts to its space station almost a dozen times, but this launch comes amid an accelerating race to the moon with the US. #china #chinanews #shenzhou23 #space
