Anyone else catch the yuk of Xinhua releasing a complete story on the successful Chinese orbital mission launch, complete with dialogue between ground control and the astronauts and 'leventy-ten other details... while the ship was still on the pad? I'm sure it was a fluke and that all other news coming out of the Middle Kingdom is on the square. Aren't you? |

The Chinese are terrifyingly advanced beyond anything the U.S. has achieved-- not in spaceflight, but in the deployment of precognitive psychic journalists. |

In somewhat related news, the new Japanese prime minister has the same public relations problem as the seventh planet... It doesn't help whether you pronounce his name Asso or Ah-So. (The latter is said to be the preferred one.) |
