Live on Chinese State Television, a Chinese countdown.
“6,5,4,3,2,1, 点火”
And the Long March Rockets carrying a Shenzhou 7 spacecraft with three astronauts launches from a remote site in northwest China. The astronauts plan to make a space walk which will be a first for China, one of only three countries to put humans into space.
The ability to do what's also called extravehicular activity is essential for China’s long-term goal for assembling an orbiting station in the next decade and possibly making a visit to the Moon.
Chinese media has given the mission a fanfare1 of coverage2, from astronaut-training to new ways to serve food in a spacecraft. Like other space-faring nations, China is aware of the military advantages of a foothold in space.
Beijing's space program has raised hackles in Tokyo and beyond, although officials are quick to stress that the program is for purely3 peaceful purposes. China has a fleet of ships and helicopters ready to meet the vehicle when it returns to earth after its three-day mission.
