BEIJING, June 16 -- The successful launch of China's fourth manned spaceship paves the way for a future space station, which might subsequently benefits the world in space exploration. <\/p>\n
Shenzhou-9 spacecraft, carrying two males and one female, will break new grounds for the country's space missions. <\/p>\n
All the tests and experiments to be done in this mission will well prepare the country for building a space station in near future. <\/p>\n
Two docking tests, one automated and one manual, are critical to operations for the scheduled space station to receive supplies and accommodate astronauts. <\/p>\n
The Shenzhou-9 crew will have the longest stay in space, which helps test both the spacecraft and the orbiting module Tiangong-1 for functions and comfort for longer human stay. <\/p>\n
More human interest might be added in this mission with the first Chinese woman entering space. A century ago many of them were illiterate, binding their feet small enough to please men and sharing their polygamous husbands with other women. <\/p>\n
So far human knowledge on outer space remains limited. Pooling more resources and talents in the cause will no doubt broaden the horizon. <\/p>\n
Chinese have contributed several most important inventions to human civilizations, and are now working in aspects of space exploration. <\/p>\n
Key scientists of the Chinese manned space mission commented that China presented a more efficient and economic way compared with Russian and U.S. space explorations, while learning a lot from foreign experience. China is willing to share its experience with the rest of the world. <\/p>\n
China is the third to establish a mechanism for selecting and training astronauts, next to the United States and Russia. China will offer access to astronauts' training to other countries, especially developing ones. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
