                                              Firecrackers greet return of Chinese astronauts
     China's second manned spacecraft returned on October 17 after orbiting the earth for five days. Astronauts
Fei Junlong, 40, and Nie Haisheng, 41, were flown to Beijing where they were given a hero's welcome after
their Shenzhou VI space capsule touched down in their remote steppes of the northern Chinese region of Inner
Mongolia.
     The two men were in good health after orbiting the earth 76 times covering 3.25 million kilometers. State
media hailed the mission as a technological breakthrough and this proved to the world China's power.
     Soon after the craft landed at 4:33 am (20:33 GMT), barely l km (half a mile) from its target, jubilant
residents in Fei's and Nie's hometowns set off firecrackers and performed traditional dragon and lion dances,
beating gongs and drums.
     "The motherland is so great!" the official Xinhua news agency quoted Fei's father as saying. Fei's mother
wept on learning of his safe return.
     State television gave live broadcast of the astronauts coming out of the spacecraft, unaided, and waving
to the recovery team, cameramen and photographers.
     Tang Xianming, director of the Manned Space Engineering Officer, told a news conference that China
would aim for a spacewalk by 2007 and consider putting a woman in space in the near future.
