China's next high point in human space travel centers on a launch this weekend, with the planned Saturday liftoff (June 16) marking a major milestone for the country's space ambitions, according to state media reports and outside analysts.

The ISS guys need to call China’s space agency and order General Tso’s Chicken and Mongolian Beef with a promise of a $50 tip if it’s there in 30 minutes or less.

That’s motivation!

Shouldn’t be a problem for the chicoms since klintoon sold them all our space secrets for campaign donations.

China said they’re sending two women into space. They didn’t say they were going to bring them back. Hmmmm

Maybe brow up on raunch pad.

I'm envious, they have a space program and we don't, but I wish them every success.
Space is certainly big enough for all of us.
Maybe it takes a Chinese presence in space to put some fire under our own space ambitions.
I'm hoping anyway.
