Shenzhou-9 Spacecraft June 16 Launch Successful

Shenzhou-9 spacecraft taking aloft two men and China's first woman astronaut, blasted off June 16 from Gobi Desert for a two week mission to dock with Tiangong-1 Space Lab. It's an impressive feat with Chinese Long March 2F rocket bearing resemblance to Russian Proton rocket! You wonder how much leaked American tech also aided China in getting to where they are today?
