Shenzhou illustration by Simon Zajc The crew of Shenzhou 6, China's second manned mission, have entered the fourth day of a planned five-day mission with few problems, although when they return to Earth may depend on weather conditions. The two-man crew of Shenzhou 6, Fei Junlong and Nie Haisheng, have been busy in the spacecraft performing a number of experiments, and took time out on Saturday to talk with Chinese president Hu Jintao. Shenzhou 6 is scheduled to be a five-day mission, but Chinese officials said Friday that the landing time could take place "on, before or after the fifth day" of the mission, depending on weather conditions at the landing site in Inner Mongolia.
