	Star - 'Taikonaut' still on Cloud 9 as nation heaps praise on 'space hero'
		Once Chairman Mao Zedong's utopia of smokestacks and oil refineries, the region is now a graveyard for derelict state enterprises where millions of idle workers bemoan - and some protest - the shattering of their "iron rice bowls".
		The choice of a taikonaut who came across as prototypically northeastern - straight-shooting demeanour, sturdy build, chiselled jowls and a gravity-resistant shock of hair - had the makings of Communist "model worker" myth.
		Just a day after party leaders rubber-stamped a heavily hyped plan to revitalise the northeast, a 38-year-old native son was probing the frontiers of one of China's most exciting new enterprises.

	World Wide Words: Yuhangyuan
		A third began to appear about 1999 in reference to the Chinese space programme: taikonaut, a cross-bred offspring of the Chinese term tai kong, space, with the -naut ending of the other terms (which derives from Greek nautes, a sailor).
		Taikonaut seems to have been invented by amateur space enthusiasts and taken up by journalists.
		After the launch from the Jiuquan site in Gansu province, the Shenzhou is expected to make more than a dozen orbits of Earth, providing time for a possible spacewalk by the yuhangyuan who by then will not be feeling the weight of their 10kg spacesuits.

		"Taikonaut" is an odd mixture of languages, merging the Chinese word for outer space, "taikong", with the Greek word for sailor, "naus".
		However, "taikonaut" could eventually win out, because it is relatively easy for foreigners to pronounce, and because it alludes to terms for the profession coined by existing space powers.
		A Google search on "taikonaut" yields 67 000 results, with "yuhangyuan" a distant second, leading to just 891 results, while "hangtianyuan" had just 118 entries.

		I know that safety provisions has been implemented and that an escape route is availble for the Taikonauts if something does go wrong which leave me to speculate that Taikonauts might indeed be able to make in and out excursion from the modules, regardless if space walks are part of the SZ-V agenda...
		remember taikonauts are a very precious commodity, for a nation of 1.2 billion, we have only trained about 12 of them so far.
		I bet taikonaut(s) themselves would prefer some company on the mission if for no other reason, then as someone to share the joy and excitment of the achievement is nmore than sufficient for such a need and wish.

	[FPSPACE] Pioneer taikonaut in hiding? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		I've started to notice stories, both on the web and in my local paper, that the first taikonaut, Yang Liwei, has virtually disappeared from sight since SZ 5's landing and recovery.
		An AP story by Joe McDonald speculates "His absence may be an attempt by the government to temper the individual side of the achievement it has been aggressively promoting." However, this runs counter to virtually everything else in the article, which notes that Yang has been touted everywhere as China's newest hero.
		Something about this reminds me of SZ 2, where news of a supposedly successful recovery was followed by a total photo flout and official silence, broken only recently when one Chinese official admitted there were "problems" with the recovery.
