Description
This book reveals for the first time an important - and totally new - facet of Chinese power at the beginning of the 21st century. It accurately presents the odyssey of Shenzhou ("Celestial Ship"), the Chinese manned space programme. Beyond flights on Earth orbit, China is expected to start moving away from the Earth and aim for the Moon. The Moon is now officially part of the objectives of the People's Republic of China.
At a time when the future of mankind in space is being debated in the Western world, Beijing's space commitments and promises reinforce the image of a China that is increasingly confident in its power and its role in world affairs. Philippe Coué takes us live to witness the birth of a new space power.
