Quotable quotes in China's first manned space flight ( 2003-10-15 21:34) (Xinhua)
Following are some voices regarding the successful launch of China's first manned space flight Wednesday: "On behalf of the CPC Central Committee, the State Council and the Central Military Commission, I would like to send my warmest regards to you and show my gratitude for your great contribution to our nation's space mission. " -- said Chinese Defense Minister Cao Gangchuan when talking to China's first astronaut Yang Liwei on board of Shenzhou-5 at about 5:30 p.m. Wednesday (Beijing time) via live communication systems. "I will strive to complete my tasks well and ensure the full success of the mission." -- said Yang Liwei when talking to Cao Gangchuan via live communication systems. "I feel very good in space, and it looks extremely splendid around here. Dear son, I caught the sight of our beautiful home ( the Earth) and recorded all what I've seen here." -- said Yang Liwei when calling his wife and son from space at 7:58 p.m. Wednesday (Beijing Time). "Astronaut, could you see the Great Wall there?" -- asked an internet surfer "Chuanhaozi" on Xinhua Forum at Xinhuanet.com, website of Xinhua News Agency, which launched a program asking internet users to provide words they most want to say to Yang Liwei. "Is there really a human being in that flame shooting thing? I used to believe only the souls of nobles could fly to the sky after they pass away. Science is really marvelous. I hope our first man in space will return safely. I pray for him." -- said a 64-year-old Tibetan Namgyai in southwest China's Tibet Autonomous Region. "This marks a great success of the Chinese scientific and technological expertise and today should be a grand event for all Chinese people." -- Visiting Ukraine Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Tabachnik expressed congratulations on China's launch of its first manned spacecraft, Shenzhou-5, here Wednesday. "China becomes the third country to send human beings into space, demonstrating the reliability of its aerospace technology. This mission could open up to a new era of wider cooperation in the world space community." -- said Jean-Jacques Dordain, Director General of the European Space Agency (ESA), in a statement.
