As the Tides of Change crew continue their journey in Hainan, the explorers will stop by the Wenchang Satellite Launch Center. It is China's fourth and southernmost space vehicle launch facility. With its low latitude and clear skies, it's an ideal location. The local space industry also creates additional revenue streams for local people – the town is packed with space enthusiasts during launch events.
