Hangeng
Hangeng is now no longer just a singer - he is a future astronaut!


The Netherlands-based Space Expedition Corporation and a Chinese agency signed an agreement so non-professional Chinese travelers could travel to space by the end of 2014.

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!
