　　A rocket launch count down, a common sound in the 1960s. But this was not just another launch. It was the beginning of a historic event. It was the countdown for Apollo Ⅱ, the first flight that would carry man to the first landing on the moon. The ground shook as the huge Saturn V rocket moved slowly up into the sky. It rose perfectly. Someone on the launch crew spoke the words “Good luck”and “Godspeed”. I'm Jack Whistler. Today Stan Busbee and I will tell the story of flight of Apollo Ⅱ in July, 1969.

　　In the spacecraft at the top of the speeding rocket were 3 American astronauts, whose names soon would be known around the world: Neil Armstrong, Edwin Aldrin, and Michael Collins. Neil Armstrong was the commander of the spacecraft. e was a test pilot. He had flown earlier on one of the 2 -man Gemini space flights. Armstrong was a calm person, a man who talked very little. Edwin Buzz Aldrin was the pilot of the moon lander vehicle. The astronauts gave it the name Eagle. Aldrin had flown on the last of the Gemini flights. He also was a quiet man, except twenty talked about space. Michael Collins was the pilot of the command module vehicle Columbia. He also had made a Gemini flight. He would wait in orbit around the moon as Armstrong and Aldrin landed and explored the surface. Collins was very popular and always ready with a smile.

　　China's astronaut, 38-year-old Yang Liwei returned safely to earth Thursday morning, when his craft Shenzhou V touched down as scheduled after more than 21 hours in the earth's orbit. Chinese premier Wen Jiabao called the landmark debut flight a “complete success”. The descent capsule (返回舱) carrying Lt. Col. Yang Liwei touched down on the grasslands of the Gobi Desert, in central Inner Mongolia at 6:23 a. m. Thursday (Beijing Time), the Beijing-based China's Aerospace Command and Control Center said. Minutes later, Yang grabbed the capsule hatch with his hand, pulled himself out, smiled and waved at recovery teams and reporters. “It is a splendid moment in the history of my motherland and also the greatest day of my life,” Yang, a former flight pilot from Northeast China's Liaoning Province, said immediately after emerging. In an interview with CCTV, China's state television, Yang said he was “feeling excellent”. Shenzhou V landed at dawn, 4.8 kilometres (3 miles) from its designed landing target, the officials said. “The spaceship operated well,” the astronaut Yang Liwei said in his first publicized comments. “I feel very good and I am proud of my motherland.” After a physical exam on spot, Yang's condition was found as “good”. Li Jinai, the commander of China's manned space program, called Yang a “space hero” and a “national hero”. Following Yang's touchdown China's premier Wen Jiabao immediately spoke to Yang from Beijing's Command and Control Centre and offered his congratulations.

　　Within hours, Chinese space officials announced that the country's space dreams will continue with a “Shenzhou Ⅵ” mission, most possibly within a year. They said China also had worked out plans to conduct space walking by its astronauts, and eventually build up a space station. However, Chinese scientists ruled out building a space shuttle, like the United States.

　　Yang's flight came four decades after the former Soviet Union and the United States pioneered manned spaceflight. Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin orbited the Earth in April 1961. One month later, the United States launched Alan B. Shepard Jr.
