According to Chinese media Kuaikeji, a video was recently posted on the internet claiming to have encountered the return capsule of the manned spacecraft 'Shenzhou-22' being transported uncovered on the bed of a flatbed truck on the highway, drawing attention.

The Shenzhou-22 return capsule, carrying three astronauts who had been staying on China's space station 'Tiangong,' landed on May 29 at the Dongfeng landing site in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. After recovery and processing, it was slated to be transported by land to 'Beijing Aerospace City,' where the Chinese Astronaut Research and Training Center, among others, is located, and it is believed that the sighting occurred en route.

Viewers of the video commented, 'Advanced machinery is often transported in the simplest way possible,' 'Instead of transporting it uncovered, shouldn't it at least be covered with a tarp?' and 'There was a time when the whole nation was excited about the successful launch of rockets and spacecraft, but now there are so many that we've completely gotten used to it.'
