Well, at least some one admit this is a Made-in-China space program. Many still have the wrong perception that it is just another direct copy from Russian systems.

Wishcumstrue 6th Gear June 18, 2012 Share June 18, 2012 While they are up there, remember to bring back some mooncakes Moon cake already on the Chinese space food menu some time ago. The Chinese character "巡天" on the moon cake basically refers to cruise the sky.

Actually China is only taking a baby-step very carefully since space travel is not your everyday project and has HUGE inherent danger. NASA already lost 2 of 5 its now-retired Space Shuttles with 14 life taken in the 30-year program. This goes to show the incredible risk involved.
