Almost 50 years after the USA and the USSR sent their first Astronauts and Cosmonauts on short trips - the Chinese have done the same in very similar way.
The ( somewhat charred) capsule seen in the background was launched on top of modified Long March rocket, originally developed as a nuclear missile.
The USA sent up their first capsules on top of a modified Redstone missile, a direct descendant of the German V2.
1960s capsules returned to earth by parachute, US ones into the ocean and USSR ones onto land.It is all very " deja vu " to anyone who lived through the 1960s.
BTW:
When the USSR sent a small dog into space, the US press immediately dubbed it " Muttnik ".
ROTFL .....
