China recently completed building the Tiangong Station, an orbitting space station. The country will soon begin training foreign astronauts for trips to the station.
Multiple countries have asked for rides to the Tiangong station, program official Chen Shanguang said in an interview with state broadcaster CCTV that aired Saturday.
