China's space mission

Channelnewsasia.com: "Astronauts Fei Junlong and Nie Haisheng were given a clean bill of health after the re-entry capsule of their Shenzhou VI spacecraft glided to Earth on a parachute, ending up in Inner Mongolia, Xinhua news agency said."

The safe return of the astronauts was all over our news today and we were pretty happy in Adelaide to know they were safe and well and that China thought the 115 hour mission had been a success. I suppose it's because we have a significant population of Chinese people who contribute positively to our state that we found out we actually were delighted all had gone well. Whatever else, the exploration of space is exciting.
