Three Chinese volunteers on Tuesday ended an experiment that saw them live for 105 days in an enclosed capsule, eating only laboratory-grown plants and insects. This was China's first manned test of the "Moon Palace 1," a 500-cubic meter module that is China's first and the world's third bioregenerative life support base. (Xinhua/Gong Lei)
