First .. good & congrats.

But, why the fourth one after so many years?

2003-2012 is 9 years !!!

Because each manned mission is a solid footprint for our space program, and we don't need to perform the same manned mission 100 times before the Moon Landing.

Great job China.

Hard work and perseverance finally paid off.
