游行别忘了带上加拿大国旗和魁省其,毕竟在人家的地头.
看到少数人攻击我国的航天事业,很痛心! 事实上自中国载人航天成功后本地各大新闻媒介竟相报道作为中国人我真感到自豪.我的洋人同学都向我祝贺,并对中国显示了极大兴趣. 老实说,我国还很穷,很多农民衣不避体食不裹腹! 但这不是发展航天事业的错! 错在共产党那腐败的政治体制.那些贪官每年贪污浪费的国家财产何止百亿? 我痛恨共产党,但这并不妨碍我爱我的祖国. 我要为我们的神舟欢呼! 为祖国的发展欢呼! 航天事业对经济带来的巨大作用, 我不想多说请看CNN的权威人士的评论: "You don't throw parades for robots," quipped Joan Johnson-Freese, a professor at the Naval War College in Newport, Rhode Island, who has written numerous books about space strategy.
She and other experts on Asian space issues reason that China dispatched a manned mission for much the same reason the Soviet Union and the United States did four decades ago: national pride.
"I think it's a matter of prestige," said Dean Cheng, research analyst with Project Asia at The CNA Corp. in Washington, D.C.
"It's a crown in a lot of ways, like the Olympics. China is doing this in essence to say, 'Look, we are not a less-developed country.'"
Bob Walker, a former U.S. representative from Pennsylvania with expertise in aerospace issues, agrees.
Passing the miletone of putting man into space, he said, gives China "the aura of being a world leader in technology."
Although some might argue that the world's most-populous nation, struggling to balance its communist economy with free-market reforms, can ill afford to spend billions of dollars launching so-called taikonauts into orbit, the series of planned missions during the next decade may actually lead to significant economic benefits.
First, China's manned space program attracts many technical workers, preventing a brain drain of highly trained professionals who otherwise might leave the country for more-lucrative job prospects overseas.
"An estimated 300,000 people are working on [China's manned space program]. In fact, they deliberately over-employed it, including in skilled jobs" Johnson-Freese said.
Second, the success of Shenzhou V serves as a spectacular billboard, demonstrating to the world aerospace industry that the Chinese space launch industry is sophisticated enough to handle outside business.
The nascent Chinese commercial satellite-launch industry experienced successes in the early 1990s but has been in the doldrums in recent years, in part due to launch mishaps, according to Cheng and others.
"[The manned launch is] sort of economic advertising, which says if our technology is reliable enough to send up our people, it's reliable enough to send up your satellites," Cheng said.
