Liu Yang, who took part in the Shenzhou IX mission in June 2012 http://www.cheapmlbbluejaysshop.com/randal-grichuk/ ,
confirmed on Tuesday that she is now a mother as she attended an award ceremony
in Beijing for the families of members of the military, Global Times reported on
Wednesday.
She did not give any details about her family, and the paper quoted her as saying, "We are continuing the training to make ready for the next mission."
Liu is the only deputy to the National People's Congress among the country's 21 astronauts.
When China decided to select two female astronauts in the early 2000s, experts wanted to choose married mothers.
"Married women who have a child or some children are believed to be comparatively steadier and more experienced in their
profession http://www.cheapmlbbluejaysshop.com/yangervis-solarte/ ,
so the space authorities tended to choose them as astronauts," an expert close
to China's space agency said on condition of anonymity.
"Another consideration that was not discussed openly was that they were very cautious about the possible effects of space radiation on women's fertility,
though there is no evidence that it causes harm.
"Considering that many female astronauts from foreign nations have given birth to children who are quite healthy after completing missions, there should
be no concern about a spacewoman's health or fertility."
China's space authorities have since changed the selection standards and now say the ideal female candidate is a married women who has not yet given birth,
he added.
Fifty-nine women have flown in space http://www.cheapmlbbluejaysshop.com/jaime-garcia/ ,
out of total of 536 who have left Earth.
An earlier report by Time magazine said medical specialists believe it is actually male astronauts whose reproductive capabilities are more vulnerable.
Richard Jennings, who practices gynecology and aerospace medicine in the United States, was quoted as saying, "As far as the acute effects of radiation,
men are much more at risk than women since the spermatogonia are very sensitive
to radiation."
Shenzhou IX was the first manned spacecraft to dock with the Tiangong 1 space station. Liu was one of three astronauts who took part in the 13-day mission.
" The cast and crew of Game of Thrones Photo: IC
Fantasy epic Game of Thrones made television history at the 68th Emmys on Sunday http://www.cheapmlbbluejaysshop.com/roberto-osuna/ ,
becoming the most decorated fictional show since the awards began nearly seven
decades ago.
The HBO series picked up 12 Emmys this season: nine awards in technical categories and three top prizes at the glitzy ceremony in downtown Los Angeles -
television's equivalent of the Oscars.
The blood-spattered, sex-filled saga about noble families vying for control of the Iron Throne took home the most coveted prize of the night, the best drama
Emmy, along with statuettes for writing and directing.
That gives it a total haul over the years of 38 - more than any other narrative series since the first Television Academy prize-giving in 1949,
overtaking the haul of 37 won by long-running comedy Frasier.
""We love Frasier and he had a long run and we're sure someone will come along and take it from us. We just hope it doesn't happen until we're all
dead http://www.cheapmlbbluejaysshop.com/aaron-sanchez/ ,""
showrunner David Benioff told reporters.
It went down to the wire in the end, as Thrones drew a blank in the acting categories, despite being a hot favorite and having multiple nominees, and only
set the record with the last prize of the night.
Three of its stars - Lena Headey, Emilia Clarke and Maisie Williams - dominated the pre-show betting in the supporting actress
category http://www.cheapmlbbluejaysshop.com/j-a-happ/ ,
but the statuette went to veteran Maggie Smith of Downton Abbey.
Peter Dinklage missed out on a supporting actor trophy as did co-star Kit Harington, the favorite for his portrayal of Thrones hero Jon Snow, when Ben
Mendelsohn picked up the prize for Netflix family drama Bloodline.
The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story also glittered, picking up a total of nine awards this season, including the prize for best limited series.
""If your show doesn't have a dragon or a white Bronco in it http://www.cheapmlbbluejaysshop.com/devon-travis/ ,
go home right now,"" host Jimmy Kimmel joked at the start of the three-hour
broadcast, a reference to Thrones and the infamous car Simpson was in when he
went on a wild ride through Los Angeles before his arrest.
The all-time Emmy list of winners - which includes nonfiction - is topped by NBC comedy sketch show Saturday Night Live, with 45 awards, one of them handed
out Sunday to Kate McKinnon for best supporting actress.
Emmy milestone for Louis-Dreyfus
It was a night of recognition for old hands in the comedy categories http://www.cheapmlbbluejaysshop.com/marco-estrada/ ,
while the drama awards went to relative newcomers.
In the best actress in a comedy category, Julia Louis-Dreyfus won a fifth consecutive Emmy for her role as the hapless acting president on HBO's Veep.
""I would like to dedicate this to my father who passed away on Friday, and I'm so glad that he liked Veep because his opinion was the one that really
mattered,"" she said in an emotional tribute, her voice
