[edit] Name help

I don't know the characters or the Pinyin for "Shuguang". My Chinese isn't great, and Shuguang isn't in my dictionary. I believe that Shuguang means "dawn", and I'm pretty sure the "guang" character in this case is 光. If anyone can write out the name properly it would be great. GhostPirate 04:36, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

I added the {{chinese script}} template above and maybe someone working through that category will stumble on it. Rigadoun (talk) 20:09, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

With the help of my big dictionary at home and a quick verification on the web, I found that it should be 曙光, and your suspicions were correct. Rigadoun (talk) 19:02, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Living animals into space?

The article claims that "Living animals were send into space and brought back to Earth alive. All these made China the third spacefaring country in the world...", but AFAIK this didn't happen until Shenzhou 2 in 2001. Jpatokal 02:53, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

First dogs, then rabbits, mouse, etc..., aboard sounding rockets, and in the 1960s.--218.102.39.153 (talk) 07:28, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
