Taikonauts Join Astronauts and Cosmonauts

When we are not doing stupid things like making nuclear missiles mankind has made some impressive leaps in the relatively short time we have been on Earth and amongst our very best moments has been the development of Spacecraft although that development only came about as a way to deliver death upon another nations inhabitants but lets paper over that because since the Soviets launched Sputnik in 1957 we have gone on to send man-made machines to view every Planet in our Solar System, landing on some of them, as well as setting foot on the Moon and launching a Space Station that circles our Earth every 90 minutes.
Since its launch in 1998 it has been speeding at 17,100 mph above our heads and i receive texts from NASA's Spot The Station website to let me know when it is within view in my part of the UK and most nights i see at least one passing but now us sky-watchers have another piece of technology to look for in the shape of China's Tianhe-1 Space Station .
China has successfully launched the 54ft core module of its planned Space Station and it is now orbiting around the Earth although it is only one-sixth the size of the 356ft International Space Station and therefore has far less reflective qualities for those of us on Earth scanning the skies for it although it can be seen with the naked eye but is much harder to spot than the ISS.
The NASA website does not yet have an option to receive texts or emails when the Tianhe-1 Station is visible and none of my Space apps have the option to find it so for now it is hoping for a clear sky and the inevitable discussion if that faintly moving light is the Chinese Space Station or one of Elon Mucks Sky Link satellites.
What we do have now is another introduction to the lexicon of Space with Chinese Taikonauts joining American Astronauts and Russian Cosmonauts but whatever we call them, i will be 250 miles below them enviously gazing up at them.
