Science & Nature: In the U.S., we call them astronauts, but taikonauts are space explorers from what country?

You might find astronauts at NASA, but in China, you'll find taikonauts, a term that incorporates the Chinese word for "space" and the Greek for "sailor." You might also be familiar with the Russian term "cosmonaut," which combines the Greek words for "universe" and "sailor."
