From http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/sci/tech/newsid_1892000/1892598.stm: "Just as with the Shenzhou II mission, the Shenzhou III re-entry capsule will leave its orbital module circling the Earth for about six months. "Chinese officials are reported to have said that there could be another unmanned test mission later this year as the country gears up to a proper manned launch, perhaps in 2003. "Space officials have said that a goal of China's space programme is to put a Chinese astronaut on the Moon one day." I hope some people will now recognize why I alerted the list to today's launch a little more than a week ago. I perceived that the reports I had weren't propaganda. ------------------------------ Jonathan T.
