The source for the information was a half-hour long documentary film
on the first Chinese satellite that aired on Chinese television at the
time of the Shenzhou 1 mission, which included interviews with the
participants, and footage of the launch failure itself.
I guess being in another medium it doesn't count as 'real' because it
isn't in writing. But since CCTV is a state-run medium, I don't know
why it should be doubted....
