China wil mens in de ruimte
China will soon put a person into space and become the third nation in the world to boast manned space flight, a top Chinese aerospace official said Sunday.
A manned launch was not far off, Vice President Hu Hongfu of China Aerospace Science Technology Corp told a news conference at the third Zhuhai air show.
``It will not be long before Chinese astronauts can ride locally made spaceships into space,'' Hu said.
The official gave no timetable but said it would happen ``at the beginning of the 21st century.''
