China's space programme is preparing to make its own small piece of history by putting its first female astronaut into space, and China's internet has been buzzing with talk of some unusual selection criteria.The shortlist for female candidates has been narrowed down to two contenders


候选人名单已经被减少到只剩两名竞争者

At a launch site in the desert the Shenzhou-9 spacecraft is being readied. It may blast off this weekend, and one of the three crew is likely to be a woman.


在沙漠中的发射基地，神舟九号飞船正在准备中。它可能会在本周发射升空，并且三名船员中的一位有可能是女性。




In the year that the Communist Party wants to showcase its achievements ahead of a once-in-a-decade leadership change in the autumn, you might expect China's national media to be in overdrive about the event.


共xx想要在今年秋季进行十年一次的林导人换界前展示近年它的成果，可以预测中国的国家媒体会对这一事件进行大肆报道。




Not yet, it seems. The People's Daily's brief announcement with photographs about the two women who have been shortlisted for the mission was noticeably brief.


看起来还没有开始，人民日报发表的刊载两个女性候选人的照片的报道显而易见地简短。




'Heroines of today'

现代的女英雄


It may be that everyone is waiting for a safe lift-off before they hail a new national heroine. China is poised to join a small club. Seven nations have sent a woman into space, and only two, the Soviet Union and the United States, have done so using their own spacecraft.


或许每一个人在向新的民族女英雄致敬前都在等待安全的发射技术。中国即将加入一个小型俱乐部。历史上七个国家已经派遣女性进入太空，这其中只有两个是使用它们自己的载人飞船做到的，那就是苏联和美国。








China has an ambitious space programme


中国野心勃勃的空间计划




But China's internet users, websites and regional papers have been fired-up by the announcement.

The Netease website published photos of the two candidates, who are both airforce pilots.


但是中国的互联网用户、网站及各地的报纸却对这个报道很热心。网易公布了两名同为空军驾驶员的竞选者的照片。




More than 76,000 people added comments to the story, and on Monday it was the second most talked about topic on Sina's Weibo microblog.


超过76000人对这件事进行了评论，并且在周一成为了新浪微博上第二热门话题。




"Finally, we are going to have our first female astronaut. They are the heroines of today. It means Chinese women have occupied another place in history," said one internet user from Shanghai.

"No matter which one gets chosen, China's proud of them both," wrote Xiaolongfei from Urumqi.


一名来自上海的网友说：“终于我们要有第一个女性宇航员了，她们都是现代的女英雄，这意味着中国女性已经在历史上占领了另一片空间。”

“不论她们两谁被选中，中国都为她们骄傲。”来自乌鲁木齐的网友Xiaolongfei写道。




China National Radio News and Phoenix news website said both women are members of the Wuhan Aviation Troop, describing them as "outstanding pilots with super-strong mental qualities who have passed a rigorous selection procedure".


中央人民广播电台和凤凰新闻网报道两名候选女性均是武汉空军部队的成员，称她们是具有超强心理素质的杰出飞行员并且通过了严格的选拔程序。




Some reports have described the women as "fighter pilots". But Zhang Jianqi, former deputy commander of China's manned space programme,is quoted as saying that the women are both from the "transport aviation troop".

He added that the selection criteria for female astronauts is similar to that used for men, "the only difference is that for female astronauts, married ones are preferred because they are more mature both mentally and physically".


一些报道称这两名女性是战斗机飞行员，但是据前中国载人航天工程副总指挥张建启说，她们都是来自空军运输部队。张建启补充说明对女性宇航员的选拔标准与男性选拔标准类似，“女性选拔的唯一的不同是，已婚女性优先，因为她们在心理上和身体上更加成熟。”




'Baby eagles'

雏鹰


The first candidate is Major Liu Yang, 34, from Henan Province. She was honoured as a "model" pilot in March 2010 and showed a "rare calm" to land her plane safely after it was struck by 18 pigeons. On the QQ instant message service she goes by the name "little flying knight".


第一个候选人是来自河南省的少校刘洋，34岁，2010年3月被授予模范飞行员称号，在她驾驶的飞机被18只鸽子撞到之后在异常的冷静中安全着陆。在QQ上她使用了“小飞侠”作为昵称。







中国的空间计划已经准备好创造一段属于它自己的历史，那就是送它的第一位女性宇航员进入太空，中国互联网上已经开始热议其不寻常的选拔标准。
Many Chinese are proud of their country's space programme


很多中国人为国家的航天工程感到自豪




The Shenzhen Special Zone Daily says she is an only child with a penchant for making patriotic speeches.

In a letter home after her first parachute jump, she explained why she never let her parents visit her during her four years in pilot training.

"Baby eagles", she explained, "can never soar under their family's wing".

The paper adds that once, during an English speech competition, she said: "As a female pilot, the sacred rose garden in my heart is the motherland's blue sky."


深圳特区报称她是一个喜欢发表爱国演讲的独生子女。在一封她第一次跳伞后寄回家里的信中，她解释了为什么在她四年的飞行员训练中从来不让父母来看她。“雏鹰在父母的羽翼下是不能展翅高飞的。”报纸还补充了在一次英语演讲比赛中她曾经说过的话：“作为一个女性飞行员，我心中的神圣的玫瑰园就是祖国的蔚蓝天空。”




Up against her is Captain Wang Yaping, also 34, from Shandong Province. She can apparently fly four types of aircraft. She flew missions delivering relief supplies after the 2008 Sichuan earthquake, as well as cloud-seeding aircraft to ensure clear skies over Beijing during the Olympics.


而她的对手是来自山东省的同样是34岁的上尉王亚平，她可以操纵四种机型，她曾执行2008年四川地震后的投递救灾物资的任务，及在北京奥运期间进行云种散播任务保证清晰干净的天空。




Major Liu and Captain Wang both have one child each.

Little World, a Weibo user in Shanghai, posted a blog saying: "I heard on the radio today female astronauts must not have body odour or decayed teeth. More importantly they must be married and have had children. It must have been a natural delivery. They won't qualify if they have delivered their babies via caesarean-section."

The reasons are apparently that scars could open up in space, dental problems could cause serious complications, and body odour must be avoided in a confined spacecraft.

But the Jinghua Times says Wang Xianmin, an official with China's space programme, has insisted that there is no requirement that female astronauts must already be mothers.


少校刘洋和上尉王亚平分别都有一个孩子。

上海的一个微博用户Little World，发了一条微博说：“我今天听广播说女性宇航员不能有狐臭或者龋齿，更重要的是她们都必须是已婚且有孩子，而且必须是自然分娩，如果是通过剖腹产生下小孩都不能获得资格。”

原因似乎是伤口在太空中可能会裂开，牙病可能会导致严重的并发症，狐臭必须避免出现在密闭的载人飞船中。

但是京华时报报道，中国航天工程的一名官员Wang Xianmin坚持称女性宇航员的选拔没有要求必须是已有小孩。




Some on the internet have been quite taken by the photos of the women in their military uniforms. "Wow, they look so cool," said "Kaykay 1013" in Hangzhou.

But "Rayfish" from Beijing was not so impressed, commenting "Their uniforms are really ugly. Can we not design something better to impress the world? Our astronauts' uniforms make them look like fishery workers."

And "Arm2012" from Guangzhou was even less patriotic, writing: "The photos of our female pilots are really not as pretty as American ones."


网络上一些网民对照片中身穿军装的女宇航员候补们非常感兴趣，“哇哦，他们看上去酷毙了，”杭州的网友Kaykay 1013说道。但是北京的网友Rayfish没有感觉那么印象深刻，他评论道：“他们的制服太难看了，我们就不能设计些更好的给世界留下深刻的印象吗？我们的宇航员制服让他们看上去像渔业工人。”而广州的网友Arm2012甚至表现的更没有爱国心，他写道：“我们的女飞行员照片真的没有美国的好看。”




Whatever you think of the uniforms, if the mission goes off as planned it will also mark another significant milestone.

The astronauts are aiming to complete China's first manned docking with the Tiangong-1 module already in orbit, an important first step towards China's aim of creating a working space station by 2020.


但是无论你认为制服好不好看，如果这次任务像计划的进行了，它也会变成另一件意义重大的里程碑。宇航员的目标是用已经在轨道上的天宫1号组件完成中国首次载人对接，这是完成中国计划2020年建成空间站的目标的重要的第一步。

Wow, thanks for telling us what those random Chinese punters thought. Their expert knowledge of the Chinese space program really added weight to the story.
Here's a quote from me to add yet more gravitas:
"The one on the right is really cute", said Coldframe, a random punter commenting on the BBC website.


哇，感谢你告诉我们那些中国赌徒在想什么，他们对中国航天工程的专业知识确实给这个故事增加了些分量。这里我引用我自己的一段话来显得更加庄重：“右边照片中的女士真可爱，”Coldframe，BB网站上的一个随机赌徒这样评论道。

To be an astronaut you've got to be your countrys best of the best. Given the size of China's population it is no mean feat to climb to the top of such a tall tree. And yet here we have a BBC article choosing to analyse blogger comments about stretch marks, the threat of bad BO and how attractive the 2 finalists do or don't look in their military uniforms.
Seriously BBC, stop with the dumbing down and give us educational and informative stories, not tittle tattle.


要想成为一个宇航员，你必须成为自己国家精英中的精英，考虑到中国的人口数量，这并不意味着简单的爬上一棵大树的顶端。然而在这儿我们看到这么一篇BBC的文章，它选择了分析微博用户的评论，其中包括妊娠纹，狐臭的威胁以及两名宇航员候补穿军装看上去是多么的引人注目。

说真的，BBC，停止弱智化，给我们来点有教育意义的故事，而不是扯淡。

Cheers to their accomplishments. Let us hope this is a successful mission.
As to the negative sentiments expressed not only in the article, but also in the comments:
-Both the USA and Russia would not have had much of a successful space program without the German scientists they captured after WW2. So China is not the only country whose progress was in part due to 'acquisition' of intellectual capital.


首先祝贺他们取得的成就，让我们祝愿这次发射任务成功。至于不管是文章中还是评论中透露出来的负面情绪：美国和俄罗斯如果没有二战后抓捕的德国科学家他们也不会有那么多成功的空间计划。所以中国不是唯一的某种程度上靠掠取智慧资本取得进步的国家。

Even with a 50 year history of space flight behind it the US Shuttle programme had 2 accidents killing all crew. I'd be praying for a safe launch before trumpeting this too. Good luck to them... they're braver than me.
Agreed with #6 though. This column is often just random Chinese blog comments with no attempt to verify facts. Are 'Little worlds' comments actually true or the usual gibberish people post on HYS (such as swine flu vaccine actually causes swine flu..... )


就连有50年空间飞行历史背景的美国也曾发生过两次全部宇航员死亡的航天事故，在为他们欢呼之前我还是会祈祷这次发射会是安全的，祝他们好运…他们比我勇敢多了。

同意6楼的意见，这个专栏经常只是随机选取中国人博客上的没有经过查证的评论，网友“Little World”发的微博是真的嘛？还是类似经常胡说八道的人在HYS（不知道是什么）上发的评论（比如猪流感疫苗会导致猪流感……）

The first American astronauts were all married because the government wanted astronauts to have a squeaky clean wholesome image. I suspect China's space agency is under similar pressure from their political masters. And when it was first starting out NASA had medical concerns that in retrospect sound equally silly as anything China has come up with.


美国的第一批宇航员就全是已婚的，这是因为政府希望宇航员拥有整洁健全的形象。我怀疑中国国家航天局受到类似的来自高层政治上的压力。并且在快出发的时候，NASA还有要求检查医疗问题的声音，就跟中国发生的一样愚蠢。

Competition can be a good thing, but it's a shame that we as a species have to waste so much time recreating the same achievements for each space-faring country. If we could instead pool our technology effectively (the ISS and various probes & telescopes notwithstanding) we'd probably have colonies on Mars by now.


竞争是好事情，但是我们作为同一物种，每一个进行空间开发的国家花费如此多的时间在重新创造相同的成就上，这真是太使人羞愧了。如果我们反而有效的联合我们的技术（国际空间站，各种探测器和望远镜），说不定我们现在都已经殖民到火星了。

China has nearly 1.4 billion people and a middle class that is more prosperous by the day. For the first time in its recent history, more than half of its population is urbanized. The largest Internet population in the world is China's. China's demand for automobiles has made it a larger market for new cars than even the United States. China's economy is the second-largest in the world. For people to say that China is "impoverished" is not only inaccurate, but disrespectful. I think it's fantastic that China is setting its sights on the stars and I wish it well.


中国拥有近14亿人口和一个在今天更加兴旺的中产阶级，近代史上第一次，超过一半的人口城市化。世界上最大的网络用户群体在中国，中国对汽车的需求使之成为超过美国的最大的汽车市场，中国是世界第二大经济体。人们说中国穷困的不仅是错误的，而且是无礼的。我认为中国把开发目标放到太空是极好的，我希望一切顺利。

I hope things go well for the taikonauts and applaud their courage, this is not a fashion show.

That depend on what you understand about COMMUNISM which is in fact an economic model.
Kerala, the only communist state in India has the most educated population. Nobody there is starving.
All NPC deputies are elected to China Parliament with the exception of the top leaderships. But then tell me, is your British PM elected?
Like it or not, this is an ASIAN CENTURY and one of the greatest fear of the West is the East Asia, ASEAN and South co-operating and united together in their economies and military.
And why do we fear the Russia? They have been the balance to a hegemonic USA in the past.


这取决于你是否认识到共产主义其实是一种经济模型。喀拉拉邦（印度西南部），印度唯一的共产主义州，拥有印度最多受教育的人口，并且那里没有人挨饿。

所有人民代表会被选入中国人民代表大会，最高领袖除外。那么告诉我，你们英国的首相是选出来的吗？

不管你愿不愿意，现在是亚洲纪元了，而且西方最大的威胁之一就是东亚、东南亚和南亚合作，联合他们的经济和军队。（……）

@Capricorn, if David Cameron is not voted to represent his constituency he cannot be Prime Minister. The job of Prime Minister is chosen by the party who wins the election, but yes the Prime Minister must win a seat in parliament first.
Also anybody can join any political party and therefore vote on who becomes its next leader.


@Capricorn，如果卡梅隆没有被选出来代表他的支持者，他就不会成为首相。首相的工作是被赢得选举的党派选中，但是首相首先需要赢得议会的席位。

Why does every article on China turn into pointscoring between busybody western liberals and brainwashed Chinese nationalists? Let's talk about space! I welcome China re-starting the space race, because that's the only way humanity can spur itself on to do something exciting. Since the Soviets disappeared, all we seem to ha've done is fiddle about in LEO, and send probes to Mars. So all power to the first female chinese astronaut! My daughters will be excited to hear about it, I am sure. Leave the rose gardens and baby eagles though....the very endeavour has always been romance enough for me.


为什么每一篇文章都会变成爱管闲事的西方自由主义者和被洗脑的中国名族主义者的刷分赛？我们来谈谈航天吧！我欢迎中国重新开始太空竞赛，因为竞争是人类激励自己兴高采烈做事的唯一途径。自从苏联解体之后，我们做的一切似乎就是在LEO上耗费时间和发射探测器去火星。所以第一个中国女宇航员会给我力量！我的女儿一定会很高兴听到这个消息，我敢肯定。让玫瑰园和雏鹰随风去吧……尽力做事对我来说就足够浪漫了。

Wow, thanks for telling us what those random Chinese punters thought. Their expert knowledge of the Chinese space program really added weight to the story.
Here's a quote from me to add yet more gravitas:
"The one on the right is really cute", said Coldframe, a random punter commenting on the BBC website.


哇，感谢你告诉我们那些中国赌徒在想什么，他们对中国航天工程的专业知识确实给这个故事增加了些分量。这里我引用我自己的一段话来显得更加庄重：“右边照片中的女士真可爱，”Coldframe，BB网站上的一个随机赌徒这样评论道。

To be an astronaut you've got to be your countrys best of the best. Given the size of China's population it is no mean feat to climb to the top of such a tall tree. And yet here we have a BBC article choosing to analyse blogger comments about stretch marks, the threat of bad BO and how attractive the 2 finalists do or don't look in their military uniforms.
Seriously BBC, stop with the dumbing down and give us educational and informative stories, not tittle tattle.


要想成为一个宇航员，你必须成为自己国家精英中的精英，考虑到中国的人口数量，这并不意味着简单的爬上一棵大树的顶端。然而在这儿我们看到这么一篇BBC的文章，它选择了分析微博用户的评论，其中包括妊娠纹，狐臭的威胁以及两名宇航员候补穿军装看上去是多么的引人注目。

说真的，BBC，停止弱智化，给我们来点有教育意义的故事，而不是扯淡。

Cheers to their accomplishments. Let us hope this is a successful mission.
As to the negative sentiments expressed not only in the article, but also in the comments:
-Both the USA and Russia would not have had much of a successful space program without the German scientists they captured after WW2. So China is not the only country whose progress was in part due to 'acquisition' of intellectual capital.


首先祝贺他们取得的成就，让我们祝愿这次发射任务成功。至于不管是文章中还是评论中透露出来的负面情绪：美国和俄罗斯如果没有二战后抓捕的德国科学家他们也不会有那么多成功的空间计划。所以中国不是唯一的某种程度上靠掠取智慧资本取得进步的国家。

If the Olympics were anything to go by the Chinese will send the more homely one to the moon but show film of the the cute one.


如果奥林匹克正要召开，中国人会把那些更加平凡的人送上月亮而让世界只看到那些聪明的人。

As usual, infantile comments on this site when a space dossier is concerned. When will people grow up?
For my part, as a friend of that bravest of brave ladies, Judi Resnick,(lost in the Challenger disaster), I wish the astronaute chosen a safe flight and return..


跟往常一样，当空间工程被关注的时候幼稚的言论遍布网站，你们这些人什么时候才能长大？对我来说，作为勇敢的女性中最勇敢的Judi Resnick(逝世于挑战者号航天飞机空难)的朋友，我希望宇航员一路平安。

Even with a 50 year history of space flight behind it the US Shuttle programme had 2 accidents killing all crew. I'd be praying for a safe launch before trumpeting this too. Good luck to them... they're braver than me.
Agreed with #6 though. This column is often just random Chinese blog comments with no attempt to verify facts. Are 'Little worlds' comments actually true or the usual gibberish people post on HYS (such as swine flu vaccine actually causes swine flu..... )


就连有50年空间飞行历史背景的美国也曾发生过两次全部宇航员死亡的航天事故，在为他们欢呼之前我还是会祈祷这次发射会是安全的，祝他们好运…他们比我勇敢多了。

同意6楼的意见，这个专栏经常只是随机选取中国人博客上的没有经过查证的评论，网友“Little World”发的微博是真的嘛？还是类似经常胡说八道的人在HYS（不知道是什么）上发的评论（比如猪流感疫苗会导致猪流感……）

The first American astronauts were all married because the government wanted astronauts to have a squeaky clean wholesome image. I suspect China's space agency is under similar pressure from their political masters. And when it was first starting out NASA had medical concerns that in retrospect sound equally silly as anything China has come up with.


美国的第一批宇航员就全是已婚的，这是因为政府希望宇航员拥有整洁健全的形象。我怀疑中国国家航天局受到类似的来自高层政治上的压力。并且在快出发的时候，NASA还有要求检查医疗问题的声音，就跟中国发生的一样愚蠢。

She may leave for three days in space but when she returns it'll be the same old place.

Competition can be a good thing, but it's a shame that we as a species have to waste so much time recreating the same achievements for each space-faring country. If we could instead pool our technology effectively (the ISS and various probes & telescopes notwithstanding) we'd probably have colonies on Mars by now.


竞争是好事情，但是我们作为同一物种，每一个进行空间开发的国家花费如此多的时间在重新创造相同的成就上，这真是太使人羞愧了。如果我们反而有效的联合我们的技术（国际空间站，各种探测器和望远镜），说不定我们现在都已经殖民到火星了。

China, and others, already lead the way in the world and will continue more-so to do. I wish them all the very best in all of their future ventures whereby technologies can be expanded. Safe voyage.


中国，及其他国家，已经并将继续领导世界前进的道路，我希望他们在未来的冒险中一切安好，借此现在的技术可以进一步发展。一路平安。

China has nearly 1.4 billion people and a middle class that is more prosperous by the day. For the first time in its recent history, more than half of its population is urbanized. The largest Internet population in the world is China's. China's demand for automobiles has made it a larger market for new cars than even the United States. China's economy is the second-largest in the world. For people to say that China is "impoverished" is not only inaccurate, but disrespectful. I think it's fantastic that China is setting its sights on the stars and I wish it well.


中国拥有近14亿人口和一个在今天更加兴旺的中产阶级，近代史上第一次，超过一半的人口城市化。世界上最大的网络用户群体在中国，中国对汽车的需求使之成为超过美国的最大的汽车市场，中国是世界第二大经济体。人们说中国穷困的不仅是错误的，而且是无礼的。我认为中国把开发目标放到太空是极好的，我希望一切顺利。

I want China to dominate space. They are more intelligent than the neanderthal chavs and thugs we have back home. Notice that its the 2 chinese kids in the classroom at home who are top of the class. FACT!!!
They will get to Mars first.


我想中国控制太空，他们比穴居人和恶棍更有智慧，我们不得不回家。请注意班里两个在家学习的中国孩子是班里成绩最好的，这是真的！！

他们会先到达火星的。

@49 You do know that the Saturn V was 'ripped off' German technology, and the team was even headed by the same person who was central to the design of the V2, Wernher Von Braun?
I hope things go well for the taikonauts and applaud their courage, this is not a fashion show.


你知道土星5号运载火箭是偷的德国的技术并且研发小组是由跟设计V2火箭的主要负责人维尔纳.冯.布劳恩是同一个人领导的？

我希望宇航员一切安好，为他们的勇气鼓掌，这不是一场时装秀。

#10.Peter Sym
When ships sailed on voyages of exploration in the 14th and 15th centuries, they used to hold funeral services for the crews.
These days people seem to want to live a risk free life.
Luckily there are still those who will risk all.
Bon Voyage and a safe journey home.


14-15世纪当人们在大海上航行探索时，他们常常为船员举行葬礼。现在的人们似乎只想无风险地生活，幸运的是总还有一些敢于冒险的人，祝一路平安，安全返家。

That depend on what you understand about COMMUNISM which is in fact an economic model.
Kerala, the only communist state in India has the most educated population. Nobody there is starving.
All NPC deputies are elected to China Parliament with the exception of the top leaderships. But then tell me, is your British PM elected?
Like it or not, this is an ASIAN CENTURY and one of the greatest fear of the West is the East Asia, ASEAN and South co-operating and united together in their economies and military.
And why do we fear the Russia? They have been the balance to a hegemonic USA in the past.


这取决于你是否认识到共产主义其实是一种经济模型。喀拉拉邦（印度西南部），印度唯一的共产主义州，拥有印度最多受教育的人口，并且那里没有人挨饿。

所有人民代表会被选入中国人民代表大会，最高领袖除外。那么告诉我，你们英国的首相是选出来的吗？

不管你愿不愿意，现在是亚洲纪元了，而且西方最大的威胁之一就是东亚、东南亚和南亚合作，联合他们的经济和军队。（……）

为什么我们要害怕俄罗斯？他们只不过是过去制衡霸权主义美国的国家罢了。（……）

Great for China and the aspirations of the Chinese people. Another milestone to be proud of.
Too many people on this forum seem to focus on the negatives portrayed by our (Western) media instead of acknowledging the achievements of others.
Are drones a humanitarian achievement ?


中国和中国人民干得好，又一件值得骄傲的事件。

看起来这个论坛里太多的人专注于被我们西方媒体负面描绘的中国而不是去承认别人的成绩。你们这些懒人也算是人道主义成就吗？

@Capricorn, if David Cameron is not voted to represent his constituency he cannot be Prime Minister. The job of Prime Minister is chosen by the party who wins the election, but yes the Prime Minister must win a seat in parliament first.
Also anybody can join any political party and therefore vote on who becomes its next leader.


@Capricorn，如果卡梅隆没有被选出来代表他的支持者，他就不会成为首相。首相的工作是被赢得选举的党派选中，但是首相首先需要赢得议会的席位。

任何人都可以加入任意政党，所以为谁会成为下一届领导人投票吧。

Why does every article on China turn into pointscoring between busybody western liberals and brainwashed Chinese nationalists? Let's talk about space! I welcome China re-starting the space race, because that's the only way humanity can spur itself on to do something exciting. Since the Soviets disappeared, all we seem to ha've done is fiddle about in LEO, and send probes to Mars. So all power to the first female chinese astronaut! My daughters will be excited to hear about it, I am sure. Leave the rose gardens and baby eagles though....the very endeavour has always been romance enough for me.


为什么每一篇文章都会变成爱管闲事的西方自由主义者和被洗脑的中国名族主义者的刷分赛？我们来谈谈航天吧！我欢迎中国重新开始太空竞赛，因为竞争是人类激励自己兴高采烈做事的唯一途径。自从苏联解体之后，我们做的一切似乎就是在LEO上耗费时间和发射探测器去火星。所以第一个中国女宇航员会给我力量！我的女儿一定会很高兴听到这个消息，我敢肯定。让玫瑰园和雏鹰随风去吧……尽力做事对我来说就足够浪漫了。
