story
(26 Sep 08)		 Less than a day before the launch of the Shenzhou VII spaceship, astronaut Liu Boming said he couldn't wait to experience a "real" loss of gravity. "I will share it with you when I come back," said the 42-year-old, brimming with a smile. (Image, from left to right: Jing Haipeng, Zhai Zhigang and Liu Boming () in the Shenzhou VII module.) 
     Exactly 10 years ago, the three were among a 14-member team selected for the country's manned space program. In the summer of 1996, when China began picking astronauts from its ranks of fighter pilots. Thousands applied, and evaluations were based upon stringent qualification criteria like flight hours, academic degrees and physical condition. Hundreds were selected for interviews. By the end of 1997, just 14 had survived extensive testing.
     On January 5, 1998, the 14 men replaced their fighter pilot armband with a golden spaceflight armband. All remember their feelings of excitement, fearlessness and strong anticipation the day they assembled. From then on, they have led a life of abstinence to prepare for the rigors of spaceflight.
     According to strict rules, they were not permitted to dine outside their training centers or disclose their identities, and can only go home on weekends. Before the launch of the spaceship, they stayed in a heavily guarded quarantine facility to protect them from any viruses. 
     They had to learn 58 disciplines ranging from English, astronomy and physics, a tall order they likened to 58 "ladders" to space. Besides academic pursuit, intensive training programs involving fast-spinning centrifuges and underwater training were also demanding. 
     The first generation of Chinese astronauts has been honored as a group who realized the world's most populous nation's space dreams, but not all of them are rewarded with the chance to fly. As well as the Shenzhou VII trio, three other members of the squad get the chance to fly, and the rest will retire or transfer to other jobs because of an age limit.
