Monday, November 3, 2003
Beijing -- China plans within five years to launch a probe to orbit the moon, the official Xinhua News Agency reported Saturday, citing a space program official.
The announcement came as China's first astronaut, Yang Liwei, was in Hong Kong making his first public appearances since orbiting the Earth last month.
Since the success of Yang's flight inside a Shenzhou 5 capsule, there has been a stream of disclosures about the ambitions of the once-secret space program.
