SUMMARY: The Chinese human-space flight program took another step forward today with launch of their third prototype Shenzhou capsule on board a new CZ-2F rocket. The official Chinese news agency said that the Shenzhou III functions identically to a manned craft, with a series of tests on board the craft designed to test how well it will support life. It's unknown when the craft will re-enter the Earth's atmosphere. (BBC Story)
