I´ve been reading Confucius recently and find China´s values and history of 5 K yeas a MUST for all of us to grow and learn .  My Presidenta Dilma has expressed great interests for cooperation with China in Air&Space Technology, there is an excellent base by the Ecuator line in Alcantara, state of Maranhão, which seems set to boost cooperation and learning with both China and Russia in the Brazilian pipeline, congratulations CHINA !  Great news for an unique civilization which has A LOT to cooperate with both Russia and Brazil for a better planet, with Russian, Chinese,Brazilian values helping fix troubles others do not want to fix.  Includes space.  So much for young plural resource abundant Brazil to learn and grow with China and Russia !  Brazil is growing and it MUST help and learn !

We ll played Across the ocean, well played.  BINYAMI N responded:  Hamburgers, hotdogs and popcorn will be served by Virgin trolley dollys as we circle the earth. Shame you can't afford to join us in the 100 mile high club................ .................... .................... .................... ...................O bviously he has never flown in First Class and does not know that hamburgers are just not served in VIP Class. BINYAMIN, you will get served hamburgers from local grease spoon outfit after you finish cleaning toilets on Branson Virgin Flight.

RT can't count. China are the 3rd country to have regular space flights. Russia are second, not China.

Yes, congratulations China. But putting a few people in low earth orbit for a short time is not massive technical feat anymore. Richard Bransons Virgin Galactic will be doing something very similar in the very near future. All of us with money can buy a trip!

Congratulations to China. It is good to see someone move forward on thetr space program. The best part, everyone is working together, the  Chinese, Europeans, Russia and U.S. The future of space exploration is going to be led by private companies.....which right now it looks like SpaceX is making a lot of progress.

I watched the event live on CCTV and it was very impressive. Great nation with civilization that dates back to thousands of years is rightly claiming its position in today’s world. However, I keep noticing the encroachment of the zionist cockroaches into the foreign media outlets of the CCTV and how they try to spew their venom into the Chinese culture and society.

This one's easy.  They needed to send a woman into space to practice their
"Docking", but the male Chinese Astronauts may have trouble when they
attempt "Re-Entry" with this female astronaut.  By the way, that rocket looks
like one of those toy sets from some cheap 1960's Godzilla movie.  You
almost expect to see Baby Godzilla or Gameron to be standing near it, and
it to be launched from "Moster Island".  Once you have seen Russian and
American space rockets all the others look like toys.
