Spare a thought for the future of humanity, and visit the Space Museum's Chinese Manned Space Technology exhibition - the story of the Shenzhou spacecraft, which has been described as a more advanced version of the Russian Soyuz series. Since 1999 the craft's three successful experimental flights have shown China is close to sending its first citizens into space. This exhibition looks into the future, and also the past: exploring the Space Flight Medical Research Centre which was built in China in 1968, the first Chinese retrievable satellite of 1975 and the space programme of 1992, Project 921. While you visit the museum, check out the Omnimax cinema's Shackleton's Antarctic Adventure in which the English explorer and his team become trapped on the icy continent ($24-$32, concessions $12-$16). There's also Journey Into Amazing Caves in which two explorers share their love of subterranea ($24-$32, concessions $12-$16) and Butterflies In The Starry Sky, which introduces a revolutionary theory about planetary nebulae ($24-$32, concessions $12-$16). In Cantonese, English, Putonghua and Japanese. Today-tomorrow 10am-9pm, Monday, Wednesday-Friday 1pm-9pm (closed Tuesday). Space Museum, 10 Salisbury Road, Tsim Sha Tsui. Free entrance to the exhibition which takes over the foyer, $10 ($5) to enter the main area of the museum. Inquiries: 2721 0226 or visit www.lcsd.gov.hk/CE/Museum/Space/Museum
