 China looks to moon : Chinese shuttle astronaut   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Taylor Wang, a US citizen born in China, said that while the 21-hour flight of astronaut Yang Liwei was mainly a matter of national prestige, it could unleash an explosion in technological development in the country.
China is hoping to send a probe to the moon, though is unlikely to send a manned mission there in the foreseeable future, said Wang, now a professor of physics at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee.
Professor Wang made 110 orbits of the Earth during his flight as a payload specialist on Challenger between April 29 and May 6, 1985.

 Optimism/Pessimism   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
For example, in the context of HIV infection, negative HIV-specific expectancies predicted immune decline (Kemeny, Reed, Taylor, Visscher, and Fahey, 1996), symptom onset (Reed, Kemeny, Taylor, and Visscher, in press), and survival time for AIDS (Reed, Kemeny, Taylor, Wang, and Visscher, 1994); dispositional optimism did not (although positive versus negative items were not examined separately).
The chief disadvantages of situational optimism measures are two: they change from study to study, depending on the stressor, and to the extent that a stressor is differentially interpreted or experienced as stressful by virtue of social class, the meaning of situationally optimistic expectancies may be unclear.
Although the literature is spare, investigations to date suggest considerable utility in exploring the relation of optimism/pessimism as a mediator or moderator of the SES and health relationship.

Taylor Wang, first ethnic Chinese in space Challenger astronaut and now professor of physics at Vanderbilt University (Nashville TN), says, "China is hoping to send a probe to the Moon, though is unlikely to send a manned mission there in the foreseeable future.
