Close-up view of the Jiuquan launch tower in China is seen in this image taken by Space Imaging's IKONOS satellite, taken October 13, 2003. China launched its first manned space flight on Wednesday and became only the third country to put a man into orbit. Lift-off from the Gobi desert was at 9 a.m. (0100 GMT), the start of a mission that it is hoped will rocket China into the exclusive space club pioneered by the former Soviet Union and United States four decades ago. A Long March 2F rocket called the Shenzhou V -- "divine ship" in Chinese -- carried a single "taikonaut" named Yang Liwei, 38, following a trail blazed by Russian cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin and American Alan Shepard in 1961.

The F-22 is an air-superiority fighter with improved capability over current Air Force aircraft. From the inception of the battle, the F-22's primary objective will be to establish air superiority through the conduct of counter air operations. The F-22 also has an inherent air-to-surface capability. A combination of improved sensor capability , improved situational awareness, and improved weapons provides first-kill opportunity against the threat. (U.S. Air Force photo)

An F-22 Raptor performs a roll. The Raptor is the replacement for the F-15 Eagle. It is the most advanced fighter aircraft in the world, combining a revolutionary leap in technology and capability with reduced support requirements and maintenance costs. The F-22's integrated avionics gives it first-look, first-shot, first-kill capability that guarantees U.S. air dominance for decades. (U.S. Air Force photo)

A miniature humanoid robot (http://www.androidworld.com/prod01.htm) on display was Fujitsu's HOAP-2. This droid has been programmed to perform moves from the Chinese martial art taijiquan, as well as Japanese Sumo wrestling stances. Visitors to CEATEC 2003 (Combined Exhibition of Advanced Technologies) met Morph3 (http://www.lleedd.com/morph3/pictures/pictures_frame.html), a human-like robot about 30-centimetres tall developed by researchers at the Chiba Institute of Technology in Japan. It can perform back flips and karate moves thanks to 138 pressure sensors, 30 different onboard motors and 14 computer processors. Preparations are being made to deploy Martial Arts Androids (http://www.newscientist.com/news/news.jsp?id=ns99994263) as Japan announced a $1.5 billion contribution Wednesday for the stabilization of Iraq.
