You may know the word "astronaut". But do you know the word "taikonaut"? It means "Chinese astronaut" in English. It comes from the Chinese pinyin "taikong" and the English word "astronaut". In 1998, a Malaysian Chinese scientist used the word for the first time. Since then, because of the fast development of China's space industry (工业), more and more people all over the world have known the word. In September, 2008, taikonauts caught many people's eyes again.     The Shenzhou-7 spacecraft (宇宙飞船) that carried three taikonauts took off from China's Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center on September 25th.
