14. The first person in China to travel in space is the "space hero" $\qquad$
A. Yang Liwei
B. Fei Junlong
C. Nie Haisheng
D. Zhai Zhigang
【Answer】A
【Analysis】At 9:00 on October 15, 2003, Yang Liwei, 38 years old, boarded the Shenzhou V spacecraft carried by the Long March 2F rocket and entered space for the first time. He orbited the Earth 14 times, lasting 21 hours and 23 minutes, completing China's first manned space flight. Yang Liwei's "first" was also the "first" for the Chinese nation, realizing the millennia-old dream of spaceflight for the Chinese people and making China the third country, after the Soviet Union and the United States, capable of independently conducting manned space activities.
