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

Platapus · 09-25-08, 04:54 PM

Good luck to them and a safe return.

GlobalExplorer · 09-25-08, 05:07 PM

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.

Onkel Neal · 09-25-08, 05:18 PM

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

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!

What? Orbital flight? Spacewalk? Welcome to the early 1960's, guys.

Just kiddin'.

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

Dowly · 09-25-08, 06:19 PM

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

bookworm_020 · 09-25-08, 06:24 PM

Good luck and a safe trip!

Blacklight · 09-25-08, 06:25 PM

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