SIZIWANG BANNER, Inner Mongolia, Oct 17 (Xinhuanet) -- Fei Junlong and Nie Haisheng, two Taikonauts aboard China's second manned space capsule, stepped down from Shenzhou-6 one after another around 5:38 a.m. Monday morning.

Smiling, they waved to people waiting outside the capsule and received flowers as welcoming gifts.

Apparently in good health, Fei said they were in good health and Nie thanked the concern and support from the Chinese people.
