3: A student from the Chinese Foundation Secondary School:

Can satellites be seen outside the space station? Do the stars look the same in space as from the ground?

Liu Boming: We are very lucky to be in a great era in which generations have developed our national aerospace industry to where it is now. We have seen the grandeur of the earth and some magnificent scenes during two extra-vehicular activities. It's like a sci-fi movie unfolding before me. The most unforgettable moment was when we opened the hatch. "Beautiful" is not even close to describe what we saw.

Looking at the horizon, the rainbow was colorful; on the right, the sun had just risen. Without the shelter of the atmosphere, the sunlight was radiant. Looking down, the blue planet was at our feet. We saw the Atlantic and the Mediterranean; we saw the smoke of Afghanistan, the Tianshan Mountains in Xinjiang, the Taklimakan Desert and the Himalayas. We also saw the Victoria Harbour of Hong Kong, as well as the capital Beijing.

Soon night fell, and the sky was full of stars. From the ground, we see stars blinking because of the atmospheric refraction. However, it is different in space.

I hope people from Hong Kong will join our astronaut team. In achieving the Chinese dream and the space dream, there will be you and me.
