China's Space Works

China had a plan that send their first astronauts into orbit on its Shenzhou spacecraft. They did it in 2003 i guess. So they are the third country which sent astronaut into space after the USA and Russia. However, their plans are different than the USA and Russia. Unlike they, China plan to send two or three astronaut in the orbit. USA and Russia send just one astronaut into orbit. In addition, China's aerospace engineers thought to construct a colony on Mars and they are in progress now.

Space programs are being controlled by military. They keep secret what the program details,budgets. They dont see the USA and Russia as a rival. Russia hasn't already showed any improvement after the demolition of Soviets. Thet think that the USA went to moon to plant a flag and it don't have any contribution to science. They will study on helium-3 which may be prove to be a clean fuel of choice when used in special nuclear reactions.

According to the experts, China's budget is one-fifth of NASA budgets. At $1.3 - $3 billion dollars. I think they really want to leader in the space.
