China launches Moon mission

A Chinese rocket carrying a probe destined for the Moon has been flown into space.
A Long March 3C rocket with the Chang'e-2 probe took off from the Xichang launch center at about 1100 GMT.
The rocket will shoot into orbit plane trans-months, after which the satellite is expected to reach the Moon in about five days.
Chang'e-2 will be used to test the key technologies and gather data for future landings.
China says it will send a rover on the next mission, and also has the ambition to put humans on the lunar surface of the body in the future.
The Xinhua News Agency said the Chang'e-2 will circle just 15 kilometers (nine miles) above the gravel to take photos of possible landing sites.

It is China's second lunar probe - the first was launched in 2007. The craft stayed in space for 16 months before being intentionally crashed on to the Moon's surface.
Space ambitions

China launched its first manned flight into low-Earth orbit in 2003; and two more followed, with the most recent one in 2008.

So far, only three countries have managed to independently send humans into space: China, Russia and the US.

In 2008, a Chinese astronaut, fighter pilot Zhai Zhigang, performed a spacewalk - the first in his country's history.

He stayed outside the Shenzhou-7 capsule for 15 minutes; the exercise was seen as key to China's ambition to build an orbiting station in the near future.

Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney may be fit to play for England

Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney may be fit to play for England in their Euro 2012 qualifier against Montenegro on Tuesday, October 12.

24 years set to be out for up to three weeks with an ankle injury, but United boss Sir Alex Ferguson said Rooney could be available for England.

Rooney took the injury in the second half United's 2-2 draw at Bolton last weekend.

He will not be fit in time to play for United against Sunderland on Saturday.

"Wayne trained on Thursday and he wants to play on Saturday," said Ferguson. "But I have to take the view that this injury has been niggling away for the time and he kept playing.

"I should be dead sure that I did the right thing because Wayne has not done himself justice I think. Within a week he'll be fine. Obviously we did not play in a week, so until [England boss] Fabio Capello if he wanted him.

"The Montenegro match is another 10 days away and by that time I would expect Wayne to be 100%."

The news is a huge boost to Capello, considering he is unable to select Frank Lampard, Theo Walcott, Jermain Defoe and Bobby Zamora because of injuries.

Newcastle striker Andy Carroll has been tipped to win his first call-up to the senior squad after he was left out of Stuart Pearce's Under-21s.

Rooney has endured a poor start to the season for United but he scored on his last England appearance, the 3-1 Euro 2012 qualifying win over Switzerland in September.

Ferguson admitted last week that Rooney was feeling the strain of being in the media spotlight after allegations about his private life.

The United boss will also be without veteran midfielders Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs at Sunderland as they are both injured, while he will monitor the fitness of Rio Ferdinand, Anderson and Michael Carrick who have all recently returned from lay-offs.
