China's ambitious Tianwen-1 mission safely on its way to Mars

China's Mars probe Tianwen-1, which blasted into space in July, is now more than 15 million kilometers from Earth en route to the red planet. The spacecraft marks China's most ambitious Mars mission as it seeks to join the United States in successfully landing a spacecraft on the planet.

The administration has yet to release information about a mysterious reusable experimental spacecraft that returned to Earth a week ago after a two-day flight.
