Default The Shenzhou and the Falcon 1

Recently two great milestones in space travel occurred. The third
flight of the Chinese space craft, the Shenzhou, took a crew of three
into Earth orbit and featured the first Chinese space walk. Meanwhile
SpaceX, a private commercial space launch firm owned by entrepreneur
Elon Musk, successfully launched its Falcon 1 rocket into Earth orbit
after three failed attempts.
