BEIJING, Oct. 12 -- The Associated Press was the first to report the event 41 seconds after the launch of Shenzhou-VI, saying the flight will be much more complicated than that of Shenzhou-V. It also says Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao paid visit to the astronauts before Shenzhou-VI blasted off.

The AP reported from Jiayuguan the news of impending launch before Shenzhou-VI was launched and said it is a more ambitious flight.
