Chinese Crew Completes Manual Docking With Orbiting Module

Posted by timothy on from the one-of-the-best-things-to-do-in-space dept.

    If China was serious about Space exploration and development, they would sign up to the International Space Station, even the Russians managed that. Docking with a tin can is not a serious achievement (except for propaganda purposes).
