10 years. I finally became China's first astronaut when I was 38 years old.
Interviewer: Oh, so you must be a really experienced pilot. Do you think that was one of the reasons why you were chosen for the space programme
Mr Yang: Sure, I had 1, 350 hours of flight experience, which I think really helped me.
Interviewer: So how difficult was it to join the space programme
Mr Yang:There was a lot of competition. Altogether, 14 of us were chosen from among 1,500 pilots to train for space flights.
Interviewer: That sounds really difficult. Did you also have to be a certain size and weight
Mr Yang:Yes, at the time, you had to be shorter than 172 centimetres in height and weigh less than 70 kilograms. You also had to be in perfect health and perfect shape.
Interviewer: So you were the perfect choice! As we all know, an astronaut needs to be healthy and calm in order to work in space. But you also had to study a lot, too, right
Mr Yang:Yes, I had to learn English, science, and astronomy. I also had to practise using space equipment, and do a lot of mental and physical training. It was very tiring, but I was so proud to have the opportunity.
