　　“China wants to build its own space station over the next 15 years,” said Wang Yongzhi, one of the famous scientists working on the manned(载人的) space programme. Wang said this while he was speaking to some 100 high school students from Beijing, Hong Kong and Macao on Sunday. That was reported by Monday's Beijing News.

　　China has spent 18 billion(十亿) yuan on its manned space programme in the past 11 years and has made great progress(进步). Last October, Yang Liwei, and astronaut(宇航员), flew around the earth 14 times, which is well-known all over the world. Wang said, “Because China doesn't have enough money now, it does not plan to send an astronaut to the moon, but to send up a satellite that moves around the moon.”

　　Wang, who is now 72 years old, is an important member of China's manned space programme since 1992.
