China launched its longest manned space mission on Monday, sending two astronauts into orbit to spend a month aboard an space laboratory that is part of a broader plan to have a permanent manned space station in service around 2022.

The Shenzhou 11 blasted off on a Long March rocket at 7:30 am (07:30 p.m. EDT) from the remote launch site in Jiuquan, in the Gobi desert, in images carried live on state television.

The astronauts will dock with the Tiangong 2 space laboratory, or “Heavenly Palace 2”, which was sent into space last month. It will be the longest stay in space by Chinese astronauts, state media reported.

10月17日，中国发射神舟十一号飞船，送两名宇航员到空间站呆一个月。

此次任务是更宏伟计划的一部分，目的是到2022年左右建立一个永久空间站。

当地时间上午7:30分，神舟十一号载人飞船，搭乘长征火箭，从酒泉卫星发射中心升空，电视台进行了现场直播。宇航员将进入上个月送入太空的天宫二号实验室。据媒体报道，此次会是中国宇航员在太空中呆的时间最长的一次。

No doubt much of the research they will do in orbit is military related.

毫无疑问，他们在轨道上进行的研究大多是军事相关的

China still has about 50 years to catch up with US and Russian accomplishments in space

要赶上美国和俄罗斯的太空成就，中国至少还要大约50年

China using it’s own rockets? Most people who seen the U.S. go to the moon are retired citizens now… Russia will go off on it’s own or maybe join with China. Any Astronauts left alive that went to the moon? Just saying.

中国用自己的火箭？

看过美国登月的人，如今已经年事已高

While the United States is constantly being diverted from accomplishing anything in space the Chinese are moving in leaps and bounds. The U.S has been at this since the 1950’s and because of political or military situations our space priority has dropped as a significant objective. The future will show us how much we have dropped the ball and allowed other nations, especially China to catch up and even surpass us. Great work guys

美国一直转移对太空的视线，而中国在跳跃式进步

早在1950年代，美国就已经成就颇丰了。

然而在政治和军事形势下，我们的太空追求失去了重要目标

等以后我们才会发现，我们在放任其他国家，特别是放任中国追赶上来，甚至大有超越之势。

A sobering thought… Everything on that spacecraft was made in China by the lowest bidder.

冷静思考下，飞船上的东西都是中国制造啊

Meanwhile we have to pay the Russians to take us into space.

Thanks for killing NASA, Obama.

与此同时，我们得花钱请俄罗斯人送我们上太空
