2017 달은 중국 품에...

China eyes 2017 moon landing

중국이 한국 물건을 특히 합성원단을 수입하던 게 바로 엊그제 였는 데,

김치의 기생충 알로 시비하고 있는 그 사이 중국의 만리 장성은 드뎌

달나라로 연장 뻗쳐 지고 있다. 우리가 욘사마로 즐거워하는 시간 일본은

독도를 자기네 땅이라고 세계를 향하여 marketing에 열올리고, 아 대한민국아

넌 지금 어디 있느냐 말해다오 너의 현주소를, 보고 있지 않는가 2017년 중국은

달에 사람을 보내어 새로운 연료 가능선을 조시한다고, 아는 바대로 중국이

유인 우주선을 쏘아 올릱게 바로 2년전이다. 주어진 시간의 반을 훨씬 넘어

2008년2월에 끝나는 데도 아직도새로운 구상을 밝히겠다는 이 정권의 화장안한

맨 얼굴 진짜 모습은 어떤 모양일까..

BEIJING, China (Reuters) -- China, which launched its first manned space mission just two years ago, plans to put a man on the moon around 2017 and investigate what may be the perfect source of fuel, a newspaper reported on Friday.

Two Chinese astronauts orbited Earth for five days last month in the Shenzhou VI and China was now developing new craft up to the Shenzhou X, eyeing a permanent space station and an eventual moon mission, state media said this week.

"China will make a manned moon landing at a proper time, around 2017," leading scientist Ouyang Ziyuan was quoted by the Southern Metropolis News as saying.

The project also includes setting up a moon-based astronomical telescope, measuring the thickness of the moon's soil and the amount of helium-3 on the moon -- an element some researchers say is a perfect, non-polluting fuel source.

Some scientists believe there is enough helium-3 on the moon to power the world for thousands of years.

"We will provide the most reliable report on helium-3 to mankind," Ouyang said.

The United States unveiled a $104 billion plan in September to return Americans to the moon by 2018. Its Apollo program carried the first humans to the moon in 1969.

China's first lunar orbiter could blast off as early as 2007, coinciding with its third manned space trip in which possibly three men would orbit Earth in Shenzhou VII and conduct a space walk. (Full story)

China was designing a rocket that could carry a payload of 25 tons, up from a present limit of eight tons, the Beijing News reported this week, though it would unlikely be ready for another six-and-a-half years.
