The Shenzhou-9 spacecraft, which took off on June 16 with three Chinese astronauts aboard, including China's first female astronaut, made a successful landing Friday morning, after carrying out the country's first manual docking. With over 30 years of working experience in the field of space research and education, Sumners said she was still quite excited by the Chinese space mission as it included a female astronaut. "I ...
