China launches first female space taikonaut 神州九号 on ShenZhou 9

Hooray for 33 year old Major Liu Yang and her space buddies Colonel Jing HaiPeng and Major Liu Wang.

I love my fatherland whose vision is that women can hold up half of the heavens: 妇女能顶半边天 (a famous quote by Chairman Mao ZeDong), and our space program would be incomplete without the female crewmembers. Of course men hold up the other half ^.^ We will perservere and focus on our national mission to serve the future hope and progress of our people, and share our achievements with all the good people of the world.
