China to Launch Manned Spacecraft

BEIJING — China will launch three astronauts this month to dock with an orbiting experimental module, and the crew might include its first female space traveler, a government news agency said Saturday.
A rocket carrying the Shenzhou 9 spacecraft was moved to a launch pad in China's desert northwest on Saturday for the mid-June flight, the Xinhua News Agency said, citing an space program spokesman.
The three-member crew will dock with and live in the Tiangong 1 orbital module launched last year, Xinhua said. The government has not said how long the mission will last.
Xinhua cited Niu Hongguang, deputy commander in chief of the manned space program, as saying the crew "might include female astronauts."
The government said in 2010 that two female air force pilots had joined the astronaut program but has disclosed no other details.

CRONIS' TRANSLATION --- China will execute three barely-qualified doomed prisoners this month in an elaborate and costly incineration using the Shenzhou 9 POS bottle-rocket aka "Divine Craft" aka "Chingy-chingy CHOW!" aka "Bottle Rocket of Moderate Death and Sadness".  The three prisoners might include a female perpetrator, a government news agency (aka Mindcrime Evil Control Fart) said Saturday.
A rocket carrying the "Chingy-Chingy CHOW!" was moved to a launch pad in China's desert (aka, not the mountainy-part or the violently overcrowded and polluted watery part) for the mid-June execution, the Xinhua News Agency said, citing a space-program spokesman (aka prisoner/scientist).
The three-prisoner crew will explode at 1000 feet and die into a pesky village blocking a future dam which will power more Chickity China Chinese Chicken restaurants, stating, "Have a drumstick and your brain stops tickin'."
The government said in 2010 that two female prostitutes have joined the astronaut program and have minimal STDs but disclosed no other details.
