China made another history this Saturday, when they launched a spacecraft carrying the nation’s first female astronaut in space.
The Shenzhoou-9 launched at 6:37 p.m. local time (6:37 a.m. ET), containing Liu Yang and two male astronauts, Jing Haipeng and Liu Wang.
33 years old, Liu Yang, was the deputy head of a flight unit in the nation’s air force, said China’s Xinhua news agency.
Liu is a veteran pilot with 1,680 hours of flying experience and excelled in space testing after two year of training, according to CNN.
China is the third nation to complete a manned space docking.
I hope that the money they used on this project isn’t the money that should be used for their hungry citizen.
