After China's successful manned space flight, China not only won on international prestige, but also benefited commercially and technogically.
Introduction
While China has become the third country that masters the technique of sending human being into space, some people began to doubt wether it is meaningful for China to spend such great amount of money on a flight, which seems to have nothing to do with promoting economy.
Summary
Actually, space technique can make commercail profit.(Heppenheimer, 1997, p.341)
China has already used space lab to breed high quality seeds that produce much more and better; outer space has an ideal enironment for scentific experiment, and it progresses the developing of technology. (Xinhua News Agency, 2003, pp.9~11)
Therefore it is very important and necessary for China to maintain further spaceflight research.
