China has launched its most ambitious space mission yet in which its first female astronaut and two male colleagues are to attempt to dock with an orbiting module.
The Shenzhou 9 capsule lifted off as scheduled at 6:37 p.m. (1237 GMT) on Saturday evening from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center on the edge of the Gobi Desert.
Female astronaut Liu Yang, 33, and two male crew members — veteran astronaut Jing Haipeng and newcomer Liu Wang — are to dock the spacecraft with a prototype space lab launched last year. They are to work there for about a week.

First human landing on Mars would be a Chinese? Go, go China!

Asia is moving to prosperity and greatness. Indonesia and China (Mainland + ROC Taiwan + Hong Kong) will have more cooperation, and they will benefit each other.

Better start learning to speak Chinese as they are going to be the world leader soon.
