On Saturday, Yan Hongsen and his father visited a planetarium in Lhasa, Tibet, an autonomous region of China. When he approached an educational film that was being played for visitors, Jan noticed that it contained numerous factual errors. In a video that has gone viral on Weibo, Yan is seen angrily pointing out that the training film had mistakenly identified the Long March 3 missile as the Long March 3. “What are they showing here! How can they title this as Long March 5? This is the Great 3rd of March!” said the boy angrily.

Yan’s father explained that the 8-year-old has been a space enthusiast since he was 4 years old after watching “the launch of the Venezuela-2 remote sensing satellite at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center.” He often builds cardboard model rockets and supposedly teaches online courses for other space enthusiasts. “There became an interest in space science as a result of the rocket launch. And because of space science, he fell in love with astronomy and military affairs,” Yan’s father told the South China Morning Post. “It’s his strength that he can study in his free time, even when he’s eating, going to the bathroom, in the car or on the bus.” More from NextShark: ‘Stop dreaming’: Student shares touching video of her Asian parents disapproving of her art After the video went viral on Chinese social media, the planetarium explained that they had received the comments and would take the advice “seriously”.
