填空题
Space enthusiasts hoping to become China's next astronauts must pass " super human" health checks.., and that means no bad breath.
New "taikonauts" must also have brushed their teeth thoroughly over the years as anyone with dental cavities is disqualified.
And even if an individual is fighting fit, he won't be selected if there has been any serious illness in the last three generations of his family.
These are amongst the 100 health re-quirements for would-be astronauts vying to be part of China's next space team, according to the Yangtse Evening Paper.
The selection process, which the paper said is for the second batch of Chinese astronauts, will disqualify those who have scars, runny noses, ringworm, drug allergies or bad breath.
"The bad smell would affect their fellow colleagues in the confined space," said Shi Bingbing, an official at one of the six astronaut health screening hospitals in Nanjing.
Aside from the physical requirements of the job, the candidate must also possess a pleasant and adaptable disposition, the paper said.
"These astronauts could be regarded as super human beings," Shi said.
China became the third country with a successful manned space programme after they sent an astronaut into space aboard Shenzhou 5 on October 15, 2003, for more than 21 hours.
China's first manned space-walk occurred in September last year. Zhai Zhigang, the son of a snack-seller, unveiled a small Chinese flag in space, helped by his colleague Liu Boming, who also briefly popped his head out of the capsule.
The space walk was a step towards China's longer-term goal of assembling a space lab and then a larger space station.
