National flags are raised at the Dongfeng Town in Jiuquan Satellite Launch Centre in Northwest China's Gansu Province, where China's first-ever manned spaceflight, the Shenzhou 5 (Divine Ship V) will be launched possibly tomorrow morning at the earliest. Today the astronaut will be selected from a pool of three to orbit the earth 14 times. China's CCTV has announced its original plan of live broadcast has been dropped.
I am sorry for posting the China National Flag again. But I think it is fun newsfor you. |

I read the astronaut (Chinaut?) will carry a gun and knife in the capsule in case he lands in hostile territory. That's sad.:(

Hostile territory? On the Moon? I didnt know there were hostiles on the Moon. If they're talking about re-entry, China would probably have some support craft waiting at almost any concievable touchdown location. Something with firepower I would imagine. No, wait. That would be the US. Never mind |
