Interesting article in People's Daily Online, English edition
(http://english.people.com.cn/90001/6546307.html), about the new
public display of the Shenzhou VII spacecraft in Shanghai on Dec. 2,
2008. Photo in article shows the re-entry vehicle on display.
But the article insists that, in addition to the return capsule and
its parachute, the display also includes the orbital module from which
Zhai Zhigang exited for China's first EVA, and the propelling module
with its 48 different-sized engines.
How long before the stories start to state that, if they brought the
OM and IU back, then maybe they brought back the EVA suits, too?
