The Chinese space program aims at ______. [br] [originaltext] China has beg

China has begun its second manned space mission. Two Chinese astronauts are in orbit on the latest stage of a program aimed at landing on the moon. The launch of the rocket was carried live on state TV, and our correspondent Daniel Griffiths reports from Beijing:
     Heading for the stars, China’s latest space mission blasts off from a remote launch site in the northwest of the country. On board the Shenzhou VI capsule, astronauts Fei Junlong and Nie Haisheng going into orbit on a five-day flight. This mission is much more advanced than the last one. The men are expected to carry out a series of experiments and move freely around the spacecraft, Relief inside the control center, as everything goes according to plan. Relief too, on the streets of China:
   "I was really nervous. This was just the second time China has lifted off."
   "The Shenzhou liftoff brings pride to our divine land, pride to human kind."
   "I am feeling really emotional. I feel like this is a proud moment not only for China but for Chinese people all over the world."
     For China its space program is all about boosting national pride and international prestige, and it’s got big plans. Two years ago, it was only the third country to put a human in orbit following the former Soviet Union and the United States. The astronaut then was hailed as a national hero on his return to Earth. Now China wants to set up a space station within five years. And make no mistake about the long-term goal--a Chinese astronaut standing on the moon.
