Shenzhou 6, China's second manned spacecraft, is likely to return a day ahead of schedule, the Shanghai Morning Post said Thursday. The spacecraft, which is orbiting the Earth, may land on the grasslands in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region about 6am Saturday, the newspaper said, citing an unnamed source. There is no official announcement about its return time. But official TV anchormen and anchorwomen did not use "five-day space mission" Thursday as often as Wednesday during the live broadcast periods. Shenzhou VI is officially scheduled to come back Sunday, five days after its blastoff on Wednesday morning. Meanwhile, a newspaper in Lanzhou City, Gansu Province, Wednesday also said the space voyage could shrink to three days from planned nearly five days. "Experts" were quoted by the newspaper that weather conditions of the landing area and physical conditions of the astronauts will result in a change of original schedule.
