SHOOTING ROCKETS HELPS LAUNCH PROSPERITY

When the Long March 7 Y6 rocket, carrying the Tianzhou 5 cargo spacecraft, took off from the Wenchang Space Launch Center in Longlou town, South China's Hainan province, earlier this month, the striking moment was captured by rocket enthusiasts.

Photographer Luo Hongyang's son, who is about 3 years old, was probably the youngest among them. It is the sixth time that the boy has seen a rocket soaring into the sky.

Getting up at 5 am, about five hours before launch, Luo's family left the hotel and drove half an hour to Qishui Bay, about 30 kilometers from the launch site, to set up their cameras.
