As Vice Deputy Chen mentioned, we have now transitioned from the second phase to the third phase. The frequency of space station module and manned launch missions is increasing. Once the third phase matures, Xia Country's space station will be able to start executing round-trip exploration missions between Earth and Mars.
The space station serves as the greatest guarantee for Mars exploration and landing. It can be seen as a harbor. Any materials or personnel wanting to travel from Earth to Mars clearly cannot rely on a single spaceship.
After all, what is the payload capacity of a spaceship?
A mature space station can greatly enhance its carrying capacity and the number of astronauts it can support.
Of course, all of this is premised on the space station being large enough. Otherwise, its carrying capacity and potential for exploration are also limited.
"That is truly great news."
