Living space

China's Shenzhou-9 spacecraft successfully docked with the orbiting Tiangong-1 space lab is the third country to dock a crewed vessel in space. The third country to built a space station (it housed humans and it's permanently on orbit - it counts). But most importantly this mission included the first woman China sent into space and Major Liu Yang is more awesome then you (she is also more awesome then her male colleagues as to qualify she had to be as good as them and a little extra). I hope she is first of many. I certainly hope they'll do better than Russians as, even though they were the first, they only ever sent 3 women into space (all in the previous century). Americans started late (20 years after Tereshkova) but at least included women on space missions pretty regularly. I hope Chinese will too. I still hope one day I will be able to go. Now I can only watch Liu Yang in space:
