China's second space flight ends successfully
China's Shenzou VI spaceship has successfully returned to earth after five days in space. The two astronauts, or taikonauts as they are called in China, are in good shape. This was the second manned Chinese space flight; the only other countries to have put men in space are the United States and Russia.
After the successful Shenzou VI landing, China announced its plans to launch a third manned space flight in 2007.
