Hong Kong-made astronauts｜Sun Dong: Space missions are the most cutting-edge tasks and it is normal to love the motherland

The country started the selection of the fourth batch of reserve astronauts, and selected two payload experts in Hong Kong and Macau for the first time. Hong Kong started recruiting on Thursday (6th).

Sun Dong, Secretary for Innovation, Technology and Industry, said that it is expected that more than 30,000 people will be engaged in scientific research in Hong Kong, but the number of people who really meet the requirements will not be too many. He hopes to recommend qualified candidates to the country as much as possible. Overseas talents arrive in Hong Kong.

He described the community's overwhelming response to the astronaut selection, "I hope that at least one in Hong Kong will succeed."

In response to some comments, it is suggested that the authorities should withdraw "safe travel" in response to the stabilization of the epidemic situation.

Sun Dong said that the "Travel With Peace of Mind" app has been very successful. At present, it is cooperating with the red and yellow code measures to help the government control the epidemic, and there is no plan to cancel the "Travel With Peace of Mind" program.

He said that there are more than 30,000 scientific researchers in Hong Kong, but he believes that the number of people who can meet the requirements will not be too many, but there is still a certain number. "Because this is the first time, the community has responded enthusiastically. I hope that at least one in Hong Kong will succeed."

Sun Dong also said that he hopes to take this opportunity to vigorously promote local STEM education, so that more Hong Kong young people will pay attention to scientific development and join the industry, and promote university aerospace education. Scientists at home and abroad have turned aerospace technology into an industry and played an important role in the re-industrialization of Hong Kong.

He hopes that more and more young people will participate in higher-level scientific research, including doctoral studies.

I hope the more finalists the better

Sun Dong also said that participating in space missions is one of the most cutting-edge missions in any country. Personnel must love the motherland and support "one country, two systems". "It is very normal to have this requirement." He also said that there are relevant mechanisms to ensure that candidates meet the requirements. He also hopes to strengthen his knowledge of the Basic Law of Hong Kong.

He reiterated that the central government knows the aspirations of young people in Hong Kong to dream of space, and believes that Hong Kong has the basic conditions to select a payload expert. If you choose one candidate, it is better to recommend 20 to choose one.” He appealed to young people to cherish the country’s opportunities, and qualified experts should declare more, and the bureau will actively cooperate and recommend them as much as possible.

Mai Dewei, Permanent Secretary of the Innovation and Technology Bureau, added that although there are certain physical requirements for applicants when selecting payload experts, and the standards are quite high, they are not as high as the requirements of pilots. Candidates must be free of allergies and not affect flight services. Past medical records and family medical history, etc., also have corresponding vision requirements. In the future, we will cooperate with the HA to conduct physical examinations for candidates.

Sun: At this stage, there is no plan to cancel "Safe Travel"

In addition, Sun Dong said that the "Safe Travel" has been very successful since its launch. It can effectively monitor the epidemic situation and cooperate with the "red and yellow codes" to help the government control the development of the epidemic. Therefore, there is no plan to cancel it at this stage. "Travel" is used together, and "Travel with Peace of Mind" does not have a tracking function.
