More than 60 million students at about 80,000 schools across China track Ms. Wang's lecture on national television on June 20. She will lecture on the weightless environment, the surface tension of the liquid, the concepts of mass, Newton's laws, Xinhua News Agency.

"Hello everyone. I'm Vuong A Binh. I will lecture today," said Ms. Wang.

First Wang illustrated the movement of the pendulum in a vacuum. She then uses a static gyroscope and a moving gyroscope to illustrate their movement in the universe.

In the next experiment, Vuong A Binh created a thin film of water with a water bag and a metal ring in the Thien Cung 1 module on June 20 morning. She explained to the students on earth that the surface tension of water increased in space many times larger than on Earth. Then she made a second film of water and poured water into the membrane. Immediately the water membrane turned into a water ball.

Than Chau 10 spacecraft brought astronaut Vuong A Binh and two male colleagues to Thien Cung 1 on 11/6. Two devices connected to each other two days later. Three astronauts will work on Thien Cung 1 for 15 days. During that time, the train performed once automatically and once connected by hand to Thien Cung 1.
