中新社香港6月1日电 香港特区政府创新科技及工业局局长孙东5月31日在香港本地媒体表示，已代表特区政府向中国载人航天工程办公室提出请求，希望安排神舟二十三号航天员乘组与香港学生“天地对话”，进行“天宫授课”。特区政府亦希望神舟二十三号航天员乘组能够在完成任务后来到香港，进行交流活动。
孙东说，目前这两项期待均已得到相关部门的正面回应。
执行神舟二十三号任务的航天员乘组中包括首位来自香港的航天员、载荷专家黎家盈。孙东说，这对很多香港民众有激励作用，希望本港未来能诞生第二、第三个黎家盈。特区政府会在科研上投放更多资源，继续推动香港航天事业的发展，培养热爱航天事业的年轻科学家，同时加速建设国际创科中心，让国家对香港的创科发展实力有认识、有信心。
2003年，中国首飞航天员杨利伟从太空归来后，访问香港，迅速在香港掀起“航天热”。如今，随着来自香港的黎家盈成为中国首位执行飞行任务的第四批航天员，香港的“航天热”不断升温。
