Us and europe have been there, done that.:rotfl:

Good luck to them and a safe return. :up:

Yeah exactly what's the fuss about this anyway. The technology has been developed by others, 40 years ago, so China now gets a fairly safe and cheap ride with copied machinery.

But just the same, it's not an easy feat at all: go China! :up:

Would you mind telling us what copied machinery the Chinese are using besides a Russian spacesuit?

The "fuss" as you call it is the admiration that the Chinese are taking their first steps into space exploration. It is a pretty cool thing and very good for the prestige of the Chinese people.

Maybe 40 years late but like, Platapus and Neal have said, Good luck and go China!:up:

What? Orbital flight? Spacewalk? Welcome to the early 1960's, guys. :D Just kiddin'.

All joking aside, I wish these space travelers a safe and productive flight. Good luck China. :up:

Have fun and call me the next time you going there! :up:

Good luck and a safe trip!:up:

A few more years and they'll be on par with the Japanese manned space program ! :D

Good luck to them all.
