kuangningAnd welcome home, Yang Liwei!
China's manned spaceflight concluded safely and successfully, with a smooth and safe re-entry. I am too thrilled for words right now -- I had not thought I could be teary-eyed with pride over a Chinese achievement, but this is not, truly, only a Chinese achievement. Like all our space endeavours, this a human triumph.
Congratulations, China, and thank you, Yang Liwei. May this be only the first of many such moments for you and for us all.

Someone's doing something new.
About damn time - maybe they'll keep going where the US and Russia got hung up.
