YP: What do you want to be when you grow up, Steve? SS: I want to be an astronomer and visit stars. I wish to visit Mars one day. YP: I think Id like to work in the space industry too. Id like to be a rocket scientist like Qian Xuesen. SS: What did he have to do to become a rocket scientist? YP: Well, he first studied at university to be an engineer. Then he was lucky enough to go to America to study for his doctors degree. It was then he began to work on rockets there. SS: So it was lucky for our space programme that he came back to China. YP: Very lucky. There was no work on space rockets before he began his institute in China to design and build rockets to go into space. SS: Do you think he wanted to travel into space in one of his rockets? YP: I have no idea but I believe he looked forward to the first space flight by a Chinese astronaut. SS: Yes. China, has already sent satellites into space. I hope that we’ll be the first to land on Mars. That would really be something special and if I were that astronaut I would put Qian Xuesens picture on Mars to show how much we admire his work. YP: Indeed. He is called the father of the Chinese space programme. He is my hero and he is why I want to be a rocket scientist. SS: Well, wed better get on with our homework. We need good grades to get into university. YP: Right you are. See you, then. SS: See you.
