Can you remember how excited you were when the Shenzhou V and Shenzhou VI acecraft went into ace? And how interesting it was when the Chinese astronauts told us about what they had seen on the trip! Gue what? It’s time to get excited again. Shenzhou VII is just around the corner! Earlier this month, Chinese ace scientists a ounced that Shenzhou VII will be sent up in 2008. “All our work on Shenzhou VII is going well,” said Qi Faren, former (前任的) chief designer of the Shenzhou aceship. Will Shenzhou VII be sent up in time for the 2008 Beijing Olympics? Scientists say no. They say the timing of the mi ion (任务) depends on when they finish designing the acesuit. Shenzhou VII will take three astronauts into ace. It will travel around the Earth for up to five days. At least one of the astronauts will do a acewalk. Who will fly? Who will the astronauts be? Yang Liwei, Fei Junlong and Nie Haisheng, who have all made tri into ace in the past few years, are all competing for a place. But it seems that it’s unfair for women astronauts.
