| Abstract | Several teams of 20 astronauts, all in their early 20s, are undergoing intensive training in a space centre not far from Beijing. They will form the nucleus of China's first generation of spacemen, some of whom could be chosen for the moon-landing in early 21st century, as part of a programme aimed at gaining a competitive edge in global space development. |
