A Chinese spacecraft has returned to Earth after completing the nation's first docking manoeuvres in orbit.
The Shenzhou 8 capsule landed in the Gobi desert late on Thursday (Beijing time), the final moments of its descent having being slowed by parachute.
While in orbit, the unmanned Shenzhou mission had rendezvoused with China's mini spacelab, Tiangong-1.
The success of the venture paves the way for astronauts to visit the lab next year.
Officials have indicated their desire to launch one, or perhaps two, manned missions in 2012. They have also said that 2012 might even see the country's first female astronaut.
Ultimately, China hopes the technological progress it is making in orbit will lead to the development of a fully fledged space station at the end of the decade.
　　完成中国第一次轨道对接实验后，神舟八号返回舱回到地球。
　　飞船于北京时间周四晚些时候降落在戈壁沙漠，下降过程的最后时刻使用降落伞减速。
　　对接为明年航天员进入空间站扫清了障碍。
　　官方表达了他们在2012年开展一次或者两次载人项目的计划。他们还提到2012年中国的第一位女宇航员可能也会上天。
　　中国希望在十年内最终能够完成建造一座完成的空间站。

Shenzhou 8 spent just under 17 days in orbit in total, the longest Shenzhou mission to date.
Its goal had been to chase down and join with Tiangong-1, to demonstrate the technologies that will be essential if larger structures are to be assembled in space.
Although there were no astronauts - yuhangyuans - on the flight, Shenzhou 8 was carrying biological experiments featuring fish, plants, worms, bacteria and even human cancer cells.
These studies, designed jointly by Chinese and German scientists, were retrieved from the capsule after its return to the grasslands of Siziwang Banner in the north of China at about 19:30 CST (11:30 GMT).
Beijing sees the Tiangong and Shenzhou dockings as the next phase in its step-by-step approach to acquiring the skills of human spaceflight operations.
It is a learning curve China hopes will culminate in the construction of a space station. This could start taking shape before 2020.
　　神舟八号一共在轨道上运行了17天，目前为止飞行时间最长的神舟任务。
　　它的任务是接近天宫一号并完成对接，测试大型飞行器在空间中组合的技术。
　　尽管飞行中没有航天员，神舟八号懈怠了生物实验材料包括鱼、植物、蠕虫、细菌甚至人类癌细胞。
　　格林尼治标准时间11:30飞船在中国北部四子王旗的草场上讲座，由中德科学家共同设计的研究设施被取出。
　　北京见证了天宫一号与神舟飞船的对接，这是它发展载人航天工程的关键一步。
　　中国希望在空间站建设中取得成就，并在2020年前建设成型。

At about 60 tonnes in mass, this future station would be considerably smaller than the 400-tonne international platform operated by the US, Russia, Europe, Canada and Japan, but its mere presence in the sky would nonetheless represent a remarkable achievement.
Concept drawings describe a core module weighing some 20-22 tonnes, flanked by two slightly smaller laboratory vessels.
Officials say it would be supplied by freighters in exactly the same way that robotic cargo ships keep the International Space Station (ISS) today stocked with fuel, food, water, air, and spare parts.
    Tiangong-1 was launched in September on a Long March 2F rocket
    The unmanned laboratory unit was first put in a 350km-high orbit
    Shenzhou 8 was sent up to rendezvous and dock with Tiangong-1
    The project tested key technologies such as life-support systems
China aims to start building a 60-tonne space station by about 2020

　　大约60吨的中国空间站比400吨重的美、俄、加、日共同运营的国际空间站要小，但是它在天空中的出现毫无疑问代表了一项突破性成就。
　　规划图纸描绘了一个重约20吨至22吨的核心舱，连接两个相对小的试验舱。
　　官方称供给由货运飞船完成，与国际空间站运输燃料、食品、水、空气和零件的方式一样。
●    天宫一号九月由长征2F火箭发射。
●    无人试验装置首先进入350千米高的轨道。
●    神舟八号与天宫一号交会对接。
●    工程测试了生命支持系统等核心技术。
●    中国计划在2020年前建成60吨的空间站。

英国不羡慕啊？

打倒帝国主义

这算的了什么？？天朝校车准载11人可以跃进到64人，如果天朝想进入吉利斯世界记录，那这些校车之类的就可以占领世界吉利斯世界记录之最了，哈哈哈
