Europe and Asia are waving a hand.
The ISM truly deserves to include the word “International” in its title. For example, in a few days time, China will launch it’s 3rd manned space flight and will include a space walk for the first time. The Shenzhou 7 mission will firmly put China on the map as world class player in the manned spaceflight arena. What’s more, China is so confident of the success of the mission that they have agreed to broadcast live for the whole world to see. If a fraction of the expertise shown by them in organising the recent Olympics is evident, it will be a spectacular event. The fireworks of the opening ceremony will be equalled by the awesome launch of the Long March 2F Rocket.
You haven’t seen the rocket? Well then you better take a fresh look at the ISM. All the Chang Zheng [Long March] rockets, including the Long March 2F (known as CZ-2F) are on display. You could also be a part of the history by sponsoring one of them! Want a taste of what it will be like? Watch the launch of Shenzhou 7. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wX-iGLG0gE4
