China's first manned spacecraft is ready for its historic mission. This has inspired our imaginations as to what the astronaut might say once he is in the outer space.

My countrymen, friends on the Earth, I'm Capitan of Shenzhou V. Everything's turned out fine here. Wish all of you happy and healthy!

My flight today has further shortened the distance between humankind and the outer space.

One of the five stars on the national flag,
Glistening I am in the depth of the vast universe!

Here comes the spaceship, is our fleet...

I love you, Blue Earth!
I love you, Red China!
I love you, Yellow River!
I love you, Pink Girl!

There is no air here. I'm flying and gliding round over man's dream to visit the cosmos.

Woo! How small the earth looks!

Hello, everybody! The earth looks very beautiful and I'm trying to locate China. ...Thank you for your trust, my countrymen! I miss you all!

Finally, I have close contact with the mysterious cosmos. I love you all!

We Chinese here solemnly pledge we'll never make the outer space a battlefield.

Hey, can you imagine I can sleep headlong here!

Is this the place of our future habitat, the place where we shall live generation by generation?

Where are you, dear extraterrestrials!

What a beautiful earth! Oooopps, how comes that my tears are flying all over?!
