ahh, you conspire also with Lazarus I see! You will not prevent the PRC from fulfilling it's ultimate destiny! Bill Clinton could see the future - and I congratulate him on seeing China there! tsi * China hails historic space launch By Hamish McDonald, Herald Correspondent in Beijing October 16, 2003 Print this article Email to a friend A Long March 2-F rocket carrying the manned craft Shenzhou V is launched into space from the Jiuqian Space Centre with Colonel Yang Liwei onboard. Photo: AFP China's first man in space blasted into orbit yesterday as the country's communist leadership claimed a "historic" jump in national prestige for a feat so far achieved by only two other big powers, the US and Russia. Air force pilot Yang Liwei, 38, rode in a Shenzhou or "Heavenly Vessel" spacecraft atop a massive Long March 2-F rocket, which soared into a clear sky in an apparently flawless launch from the Jiuqian Space Centre in China's far north-western Gobi desert. "I feel good; see you tomorrow," Colonel Yang reported by radio 34 minutes into the flight after the spacecraft had separated from the launch rocket and headed for a 21-hour, 14-orbit flight around the Earth that was to make several passes along the southern coast of Australia. The spacecraft was due to begin its re-entry to the atmosphere early this morning over the South Atlantic and drop to a parachute and rocket-assisted landing on the grasslands of inner Mongolia about 8am Sydney time. President Hu Jintao and several members of the Communist Party's politburo standing committee, China's inner focus of power, had flown to Jiuqian on Tuesday night.
