China advances Space Program

                              China successfully docked two unmanned spacecraft in orbit above the Earth as the country moves ahead with its plans to launch a manned space station by 2022. The Shenzhou 8 spacecraft docked with the Tiangong 1 space lab module, which was already in orbit. The two craft will orbit the Earth together for 12 days before another docking is attempted.China has become the third nation to complete an unmanned docking, after Russia and the United States.China’s space program has been entirely indigenously developed, by both state-owned and private companies.
                    “The Chinese have an obsession with secrecy when it comes to their space program.”

                                        But what about India, We are still with launch vehicles itself.When will reusable launch vechiles come into picture,When unmanned vehicles,when crew vehicles????? No with me tooooooooo.Just wait. It may take only few decades no problem.
