When China launches its Shenzhou VI spaceship, it will most likely carry two
astronauts and stay in space for five to seven days, according to Wang
Yongzhi, the chief designer of the country's manned spacecraft.
In an interview with local media, Wang spoke highly of the team of
researchers based in Shanghai, who designed Shenzhou V's main engine.
Asked whether Yang Liwei, China's first astronaut who blasted into space a
month ago from Jiuquan, Gansu Province, will be picked again for the second
mission, Wang said the final decision will be made only 16 hours before the
launch, so "it is still too early to say."
Yang, on his first trip to Shanghai, said he was touched by the enthusiasm of
the local people. He said he was also impressed by the city's cosmopolitan
and high-tech outlook.
Reminded by local journalists of his non-stop schedule since he returned to
earth - touring around the country and giving speeches - Yang said that it
was part of his responsibility to spread the message of encouragement to his
compatriots.
Meanwhile, lured by the visiting space program team, some 130,000 people have
thronged the round-the-clock, two-day space exhibition at the Shanghai
Science and Technology Museum since the free show opened on Tuesday.
Among them, more than 70,000 visited between 6 pm and 6 am despite the biting
cold, curious to see "what the country's first manned spaceship looked like."
"It's incredible!" Li Jun, an exhibition official, told Shanghai Daily
yesterday. "We never expected such a huge number of visitors, especially
since they queued up in these freezing conditions."
Chen Dafu, 58, who traveled all the way from suburban Qingpu District, said:
"It's been worth it. The space exhibition was an eye-opener for me. As a
Chinese, I was so happy when Yang returned to Earth safely."
Also yesterday, Yang and his peers gave emotional speeches at the Shanghai
Exhibition Center to more than 2,000 senior government officials and
residents from various fields.
They also took a cruise along the Huangpu River last night

我非常喜欢在有风有雨的季节计划自己;
有风有雨后的季节晒着阳光我昏昏睡去;
睡去的我依然在甜梦中将曾有过的温习;
温习昨天前天等等的种种激情与过去。
