China’s first astronaut 38-year-old Yang Liwei returned safely to earth Thursday morning, when his craft Shenzhou Ⅴ touched down as scheduled after more than 21 hours in the earth’s orbit. Chinese premier Wen Jiabao called the landmark debut flight a “complete success”. The descent capsule (返回艙) carrying Lt-Col. Yang Liwei touched down on the grasslands of the Gobi Desert, in central Inner Mongolia at 6:23 a. m. Thursday (Beijing Time), the Beijing-based China’s Aerospace Command and Control Center said. Minutes later, Yang grabbed the capsule hatch with his hand, pulled himself out, smiled and waved at recovery teams and reporters. “It is a splendid moment in the history of my motherland and also the greatest day of my life, ”Yang, a former fighter pilot from Northeast China’s Liaoning province, said immediately after emerging. In an interview with CCTV, China’s state television, Yang said he was feeling excellent. Shenzhou Ⅴ landed at dawn, 4. 8 kilometers (3 miles) from its designed landing target, the officials said. “The spaceship operated well, ”the astronaut Yang Liwei said in his first publicized comments. “I feel very good and I am proud of my motherland. ”After a physical exam on spot, Yang’s condition was found as good. Li Jinai, the commander of China’s manned space program, called Yang a “space hero” and a“national hero”. Following Yang’s touchdown China’s premier Wen Jiabao immediately spoke to Yang from Beijing’s command and control centre and offered his congratulations.

Within hours, Chinese space officials announced that the country’s space dreams will come true after having worked out plans to conduct space walking by its astronauts，and eventually build up a space station. However, Chinese scientists ruled out building a space shuttle，like the United States.

 Yang’s flight came four decades after the former Soviet Union and the United States pioneered manned spaceflight. Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin orbited the Earth in April 1961. One month later，the United States launched  Alan B. Shepard Jr.
