Hangeng is already qualified to go into space because he won a worldwide competition that authorized his ability to go travel to space. He's the ambassador for the space trip, and he'll be the only pop star that's going.

Hangeng scored #5 at a computer game that tested his reflexes, and he was chosen as one of the candidates in China. An online vote followed to choose 3 out of the highest 6 scorers. Hangeng was one of the chosen to go to the NASA training camp, where he was chosen in the end to be one of the travelers.

Congratulations to Hangeng!
