Want to be an astronaut? Then“study hard, stay healthy and have perseverance”!This is what Chinese astronauts Fei Junlong and Nie Haisheng said in a talk with some students.
Students were interested in the astronauts' space lives.They asked questions like“Did you see the Great Wall from space?”Fei and Nie said they didn't see the Great Wall.But they felt excited when they pass over China, including Taiwan.The island“looked very beautiful, like a jade”.
Speaking their lives beyond the earth, the two astronauts said cooperation with each other was most important.“We are the left and right hands”, they said.Young people wanted to know how the astronauts developed their careers.
“How did you decide to be astronauts when China's space industry is still at the beginning?”asked a young woman.The astronauts said it was because of their love of flight and also the need of the country.
They said their love of flight could be seen from their children's names.Nie's daughter is called“Nie Tianxiang”, which means“flying up high”.Fei's son is called“Fei Di”, which sounds like“Feidie”, meaning UFO.
After the success of Shenzhou VI, China plans to put a man on the moon and build a space station in 10-15 years.
