Oct. 15 BEIJING (Reuters) - China's first man in space told his wife and son Wednesday that the bite-size food he took along for his 21-hour journey around Earth tasted "great."
"Daddy, have you eaten rice yet? What did you eat?" eight-year-old Yang Ningkang asked his astronaut father in a conversation broadcast on state television.
"I've already eaten, ate space food," said Yang Liwei, 38, during his eighth orbit around Earth. "It tastes great."
Yang was to dine on specially designed packets of more than 20 kinds of family-style Chinese fare, including shredded pork with garlic sauce, spicy "kung pao" chicken and "eight treasures" rice, the official Xinhua news agency said.
Yang's meals were to be washed down with Chinese herbal tea and health boosting tonics, it said.

It would be nice to see the Chinese reaction to blowing an O2 system halfway between the moon and the earth and returning to talk about it.
Its kind of sickening to see the world look upon the Chinese astronaut as a great accomplishment when you compare it to what the US did with Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, and the space shuttle.
Its kind of like seeing Car and Driver go nuts over a Yugo!

Man, don't you know that the inside of that capsule smells like a rancid wok left out on the stove. I'd hate to be on the recovery/cleanup crew.

We should welcome the Chinese to the 20th century.
At the rate they are going I bet they'll have high speed Internet access by 3003!
