Wu Yan, a leading Chinese science fiction writer who has done extensive research on China's space program, said that even if China cannot surpass the world's leaders in space exploration, Chinese officials' decision to move ahead with the manned space program is a way to develop technology, inspire national confidence and leave a lasting mark.
"For now, China doesn't have any plan to try to compete with the United States or Russia. But China wants to be better than other countries like Japan and India," Wu said. "Although it's not number one, there aren't many countries in the world that can do it. It's still worth it."
Wu also said he hopes the successful mission and the eventual sight of a Chinese astronaut floating in zero gravity will awaken scientific curiosity and a sense of the fantastic among Chinese. Scientific knowledge is often handed down from on high to students in China, and teaching often de-emphasizes the importance of imagination in the process of discovery, he said.
