| BEIJING (AP) -- Astronaut Yang Liwei, the icon, is everywhere in China, lionized in the state-run press not only as the country's first man in space, but also as an elite pilot, a star student and Communist Party member, a devoted family man -- a ``national treasure,'' as one colleage is quoted saying. But Yang himself is nowhere to be seen. The center of Beijing's biggest ``role model'' campaign in years hasn't appeared in public in the more than five days since he returned from orbit. Instead, his 8-year-old son has been the human face of the media blitz. |

| Rofl, Engulf your so funny. Cover up... There is nothing that the astronaut in space can see that the international scientist cannot see using the powerful telescope. If he sees something, it must be as powerful and as far as the hubble. |

| I'm not quite sure what this thread is supposed to be about. Are you suggesting that this "manned" launch was actually faked ? Chris Low. |
