CHINA LAUNCHES AN EMERGENCY LIFEBOAT TO BRING THREE ASTRONAUTS BACK TO EARTH

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

On November 4, astronauts on the Tiangong space station discovered that one of the two docked ferry ships had a damaged window. The discovery was made during a crew handover, so it left three astronauts on the Tiangong station without a safe return craft. China successfully launched an unpiloted spacecraft late Monday to the space station to provide a lifeboat for the astronauts. The astronauts will return next year, soon after the arrival of their replacements.
