By Jonathan Amos Science correspondent, BBC News

China has launched its latest manned space mission - whose crew includes its first female astronaut, Liu Yang.

The Shenzhou-9 capsule rode to orbit atop a Long March rocket from the Jiuquan spaceport on the edge of the Gobi desert.

Ms Liu and her two male colleagues are heading to the Tiangong space lab.

They will spend over a week living and working on the 335km-high vessel, testing new systems and conducting a number of scientific experiments.

Before leaving, the crew were presented to Communist Party officials, VIPs and the media.

Wearing their flight suits and sitting behind glass, they waved and smiled.

"We will obey orders, listen to directions and be calm; and co-ordinate together to successfully complete China's first manned rendezvous and docking mission," said Commander Jing Haipeng.

China's top legislator, Wu Bangguo, wished them well and told them: "We are expecting your safe return."

The Shenzhou-9 spacecraft lifted off on schedule at 18:37 local time (10:37 GMT; 11:37 BST).

All systems appeared to function normally and eight minutes later, the spacecraft had entered orbit. Very shortly after Shenzhou-9 had unfurled its solar panels.

It will take a couple of days to reach Tiangong. A docking is planned for Monday at 15:00 Beijing time (07:00 GMT; 08:00 BST).

Mr Jing, 46, is making his second spaceflight after participating in the Shenzhou-7 outing in 2008 - the mission that included China's first spacewalk.

His flight engineers are both first-timers, however.

Liu Wang, 42, a People's Liberation Army fighter pilot, has got his chance after spending 14 years in the China National Space Administration's astronaut corps.

Thirty-three-year-old Liu Yang, also a fighter pilot, has on the other hand emerged as China's first woman astronaut after just two years of training.

Her role in the mission will be to run the medical experiments in orbit.

Shenzhou-9 follows on from the unmanned Shenzhou-8 venture last year that tested the technologies required to join a capsule to the Tiangong lab.

Those manoeuvres went well and gave Chinese officials the confidence to send up humans.

When it arrives at Tiangong, the Shenzhou-9 craft is expected to make a fully automated docking, but there is a plan to try a manual docking later in the mission.

This would see the crew uncouple their vehicle from the lab, retreat to a defined distance and then command their ship to re-attach itself.

Liu Wang will take the lead in this activity. "We've done many simulations," he said during the pre-launch press conference.

"We've mastered the techniques and skills. China has first class technologies and astronauts, and therefore I'm confident we will fulfil the manual rendezvous."

Tiangong is the next step in a strategy that Beijing authorities hope will lead ultimately to the construction and operation of a large, permanently manned space station.

It is merely the prototype for the modules China expects to build and join in orbit. Mastering the rendezvous and docking procedures is central to this strategy.
Patriotic pride

At about 60 tonnes in mass, this proposed station would be considerably smaller than the 400-tonne international platform operated by the US, Russia, Europe, Canada and Japan, but its mere presence in the sky would nonetheless represent a remarkable achievement.

Concept drawings describe a core module weighing some 20-22 tonnes, flanked by two slightly smaller laboratory vessels.

Officials say it would be supplied by freighters in exactly the same way that robotic cargo ships keep the International Space Station (ISS) today stocked with fuel, food, water, air, and spare parts.

China is investing billions of dollars in its space programme. It has a strong space science effort under way, with two orbiting satellites having already been launched to the Moon. A third mission is expected to put a rover on the lunar surface.

The Asian country is also deploying its own satellite-navigation system known as BeiDou, or Compass.

Before leaving Earth, Liu Yang said the Shenzhou-9 mission would generate further pride in Chinese people. "When I was a pilot I flew in the sky; now as an astronaut, I'm going into space. It's higher and it's farther," she said.

"I have a lot of tasks to fulfil, but besides these tasks I want to feel the unique environment in space and admire the views. I want to explore a beautiful Earth, a beautiful home.

"I want to record all my feelings and my work, to share with my friends, and my comrades and my future colleagues."

Why could small countries from Europe and Japan bully mighty China in the
late 19th/early 20th century?

Answer: technology !!

Do you think you can keep your Chinese lastname if not for the
fact that Japan surrendered after eating 2 nuke bombs not very
long ago?

If you still don't get it, think about what would happen if Japan was
the first country to successfully develop the nuke bomb?

Many things need to be done in parallel. If you wait another 20 yrs before space exploration, all the other big bully western countries will already be mining for minerals on the moon.

They are already talking about mining on the moon or capturing flying asteroids for mineral deposits. If you sit there and wait again, other countries will get an early start on you.

the way the world works, which proves numerous times to be
disastrous.

You need money to pay for education and medicare. To make more money you need to develop the economy. So you need natural resources to develop the economy.
Aerospace technology has many money-making applications, like GPS system, weather satellite and communication satellite.

Now is the time to develop important aerospace technology, so that the western countries will not be able to monopolize the moon. If you sit there and wait, the western countries will take all the resources.

即係咁, 發展呢個aerospace tech, GPS, weather satellite 同 communication satellite, 關唔關D最貧窮山區個D人呢? 山區個D人, 莫講話呢D咁先進嘅野, 佢可能連電視電話都無啦~ 呢D野幫鬼到D窮人呀~ 最緊要係人人有書讀, 教育水平提高, 就自然改善到生活~ 教育水平同埋道德水平提高, 咪少D黑心食品, 少D騙子囉~ 拿發展呢D高科技野嘅錢去幫窮人, 肯定就更多人受惠! 老實講, 中國大陸失驚無神又學人bit 個人上太空, 我真係戥個D太空人擔心呀~ 中國大陸最出名係咩ㄚ, 咪就係黑心products 囉, 仲有, 騙子! 佢地個D太空船會唔會又係A貨或者偷工減料架~ 呢D係佢地嘅profession 黎架wor~
就算淨係美國佬同俄國佬上月球, 火星, 9大行星, 銀河系, 太陽系, 那又如何, 難道你會移民去月球? 有幾多國家, 咩野人去過月球, 同你有關係咩? 我又唔多覺wor~ 就算好似你話D鬼佬會掘晒月球上面D資源, 月球上面有無資源我唔知道呀, 但你得閒, 咪上去掘下囉~ 等人家真係證實到係有資源, 兼且會上去掘先算啦~
GPS 呢家野, 大陸梗係要發展啦, 方便去做spy ㄚ嘛! 仲可以順便監察下D民運人士, 政治犯等等等等..... 有用到爆啦!
講道天氣衛星, monitor 到天氣那又如何? 難到可以改變天氣? 由落雨變好天? 難到落雨落到好似香港黑雨咁, 你唔駛返工返學咩? 咪又係對你無影響~
再講, communication satellite, 咁先進把鬼咩, 方便佢地hack 如你部腦呀? D窮人連電視係咩都未必知道, communication satellite, 關仁囉~
所以, 大陸要面唔要錢唔緊要, 但搞掂自己入面D問題先啦, 難道佢地對山區窮人嘅政策就係等佢地自生自滅? 咁又係嘅, 佢地自生自滅, 又乜都唔駛做, 唔做唔錯ㄚ嘛! 乜都唔駛做, 咪多D時間去搵著數, 去貪囉~

Hundreds of billions have been invested into education and healthcare.
All these things need money and aerospace technology contributes to a booming economy. This is just a simple logic.

In case you overlooked, China is doing exactly what you suggested, i.e. deep sea oil drilling.

CNOON 981 advanced deep sea drilling platform. This is something Vietnam or the Philippines do not have.

講得好，講得妙：

有個國家極其富有，有錢人佔全世界十之八九，居然冇全民醫療，有六千萬人冇任何
醫保，同大陸一樣，要「病向錢中醫」，冇錢過主。

但又好其怪，有好多猛人見唔到，時運高？

講番航天：
中國如果冇航天科技，有人會話中國冇用，正係識搞意識型態，假大空。
到現在有點成績，又有人話係面子工程，真係神又係佢，鬼又係佢。

更加有抽水怪講到國防，外交：

如果中國冇「兩彈一星」，外有十多年來針對海、空軍建設同軍事科技有飛躍増長（但比帝國落後多年，所
以PLA 無自滿，仍繼續努力！），你估呀賓仔同死架仔會唔會淨係圍個島呢？上咗去住十幾世喇，連
孫仔都bit咗十九幾件出泥啦！.

又有人話「先安內而後攘外」：
真好笑，你估大陸話咁就咁咩，人地唔會比時間你，同你有親？
咁把豹同帝國反影喇，人地釆你都有味，話圍你就圍你，等你冇啖安落茶飯食！
正所謂，弱國無外交，講到尾外交講唔掂數味又係用軍事對抗。

除非你肯做帝契細佬。
當然世上有好多人鐘意做人契弟，佢地有自曲咁做，不過佢地不代表我，更好彩不代表中國。
