From the Guardian. China space station unmanned lab animation - video
This video was released ahead of the launch on 29 September. China released an animation that simulates space module Tiangong-1 entering its orbit. It also shows Tiangong-1 joining up with an unmanned Shenzhou 8 spacecraft that China plans to launch later this year. The unmanned Tiangong-1 laboratory is a step towards a bigger orbiting platform that China expects to be cheaper than the US and European-backed International Space Station.
Now, just in case you didn't the first time, make sure you turn up the volume loud enough to hear the music when you watch the video. I'm sure it is just a coincidence the Chinese released the video with "America the Beautiful" playing the background.
Or perhaps they are sending us a message. I'll let the reader decide.
