<DIV class=quote><B>以下是引用<I>ucla</I>在2005-10-20 14:27:00的发言：</B><br><br />< ><FONT face=Arial size=4>Let's know more about "China manned space flight" from AP</FONT></P><br /><><FONT face=Arial size=4>====================================================</FONT></P><br /><><FONT face=Arial size=4><FONT size=3><STRONG>AP) </STRONG>A space capsule carrying two Chinese astronauts landed by parachute in the country's northern grasslands before dawn Monday following a five-day mission meant to affirm China's status as an emerging space power. <br><br>Astronauts Fei Junlong and Nie Haisheng were "in good health" and "feeling good" after their Shenzhou 6 capsule touched down at 4:32 a.m. in the Inner Mongolia region, the official Xinhua News Agency said. It said retrieval crews had reached the landing site and the two men were undergoing a medical checkup. <br><br>Fei and Nie blasted off Wednesday on China's second manned space mission. It came almost exactly two years after China's first manned space flight made this only the third country able to send a human into orbit on its own, after Russia and the United States. <br><br>State television showed scores of technicians monitoring the landing at computer screens at a Beijing control center. They didn't show any reaction when an announcer said the capsule had landed but broke into cheers after word came that the astronauts were safe. </FONT><br></FONT><FONT face=Arial size=4><FONT size=3></FONT></FONT></P><br /><><FONT face=Arial size=4><FONT size=3>Chinese leaders including Wu Bangguo, the No. 2 figure in the ruling Communist Party, were shown on television watching the landing from the control center. <br><br>Late Sunday, Xinhua said the mission had "accomplished the planned experiments and accumulated valuable technical data" for China's manned space program. <br><br>"We feel good, our work is going smoothly and our life is happy," Fei was quoted as saying Sunday evening before the craft began its re-entry maneuvers. "We will do our utmost to fulfill the mission." <br><br>"We're grateful for the deep love and concern by all Chinese people, the Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan compatriots," Nie said. <br><br>Shenzhou 6 orbited the Earth more than 70 times and traveled more than 1.9 million miles, Xinhua said. <br><br>The mission was substantially longer and more complex than the 2003 flight, when astronaut Yang Liwei orbited for 21 1/2 hours before his capsule landed by parachute. <br><br>The manned space program is a <STRONG>costly prestige project</STRONG> for China's communist leaders. They hope to <STRONG>burnish the country's standing abroad</STRONG> and <STRONG>shore up their own support at home</STRONG> <STRONG>by stirring patriotic pride at a time of widespread frustration over corruption and a growing gap between the country's rich and poor. <br></STRONG><br>Chinese leaders <STRONG>have defended the program's expense</STRONG>, saying it will help to drive economic and technological development. <FONT color=#ff0000><STRONG>(How did Bush administration defend its military action on Iraq?

I just read an article from Wall Street Journal, which says the CCP employ many Net policemen to post articles in BBS. They are definately not prisoners.
