The Chinese government is crazy!
I also had no idea that the Chinese were so far behind in space technology.
Some quotes:
Sun Laiyan said:
|
Today we send a man into space, fully conscious and without shackles.
|
The Reporter said:
|
China's first manned mission occurred when political prisoner Yang Li-Wei was knocked unconscious in his cell and awoke to find himself in orbit.
|
The Reporter said:
|
Chinese officials say the willing man is due to improvements in their space program, which now includes food and helmets for their astronauts.
|
Wu Jiao said:
|
Once, soldiers came and took away my father to be an astronaut, they said they would burn our house down if he did not go.
|
The Reporter said:
|
In order to fix any technical problems that may arise while in orbit, Zhang Tong has been provided with a hammer and two nails.
|
Sun Laiyan said:
|
Pending the success of the mission, we may even consider equipment upgrades that will make it possible for shuttles to return to earth.
