Chinese astronauts aboard the Tiangong space station, including mission commander Tang Hongbo and rookie crewmates Tang Shengjie and Jiang Xinlin, have been giving each other haircuts using a smart device that acts as a vacuum cleaner to minimize the risk of hair clogging up the space station's hardware.
