They are both Astronauts, Buzz has been to the moon. Wang will be going there soon.
Am familiar with the legend that is Buzz "Grumpy" Aldrin but I wasn't able to recognize the Chinese taikonaut who just recently got back from the Space station because she looker a lot younger on her civilian clothes. Buzz looked like a horned up sexpat to be honest next to Wang.

Screen captures of the Tianwen-1 Mars orbiter. The four half-spheres sticking out from the bottom are tanks carrying 2.5 tons of propellant.

Is that Buzz Aldrin? Who's that Chinese lady?

That photo must be some time back.

It's been years since I've seen a video of Buzz that looked precisely like the Buzz in the above picture.

That's unless Buzz remained as young through the years and the woman was the younger sister of Wang Yaping.

Btw, that video was of Buzz seemingly explaining to a little girl why they didn't go to the moon, but that's another story.

The Zhurong rover has entered deep sleep on May 18th. It will wake up sometime in December, when the Martian winter passes. Also, sand storms have been detected at Zhurong's location based on images taken from the Tianwen-1 orbiter and data gathered from the rover.

2022年5月20日18时30分,我国在酒泉卫星发射中心使用长征二号丙运载火箭,采取一箭三星方式,成功将3颗低轨通信试验卫星发射升空。卫星顺利进入预定轨道,发射任务获得圆满成功。该低轨通信试验卫星主要用于开展在轨通信技术试验验证。

此次任务是长征系列运载火箭第421次飞行。
China launched three low-orbit communication technologies verification satellites by a CZ-2C rocket in Jiuquan Satellites Launching Center at 18:30 UTC+8, May 20, 2022. The satellites would be used to perform in-orbit communication technologies tests.

This is the 421st launching mission of CZ series rockets and 17th launch of the year.
