China's Long March 3B Rocket Survives Lightning Strike During Launch

China launched a big rocket called Long March 3B from a place called Xichang.

The rocket was hit by lightning just after it took off, which surprised everyone watching.

But the rocket kept flying and put a satellite into space as planned.

The satellite will help talk to the Tiangong Space Station.

People on the internet were amazed that the rocket didn't get damaged by the lightning.

Some thought it was cool, while others thought the weather was too risky.

This isn't the first time a rocket has been hit by lightning.

A long time ago, a rocket for the Apollo 12 mission was also hit by lightning, but the astronauts fixed the problem and kept flying.
