I know of one man I would like to send into space and his name begins with a K. If there is room for one more about one whose name begins with a C. Hmmm! that could cover two people.

They can probably do it with the Clinton-provided rocket technology. Also, they have a lower regard for human life which simplifies things - to them, man lives to serve the state instead of the other way around.

At this rate, China will have an operational wheel within five years.

Here's hoping they don't fly the Wang Wei.

A private American company and private American citizens put two men into space in less than two weeks just a month ago. The Chinese are very late.
I had the opportunity to goto Burt Rutan's seminar at the University of Texas this past friday, and what Rutan's got on top is just amazing. It makes you realize just how pathetic and backwards government space programs are.
To: KevinDavis
Unfortunately, they have no plans to bring them back to Earth. Oops!

Getting them up is easy, getting them down safely is the difficult part.

"Bill Clinton already GAVE them the technology!"
Based on what?
If the Chinese want to excel in space, it should not be seen as a threat. On the contrary, Americans should even encourage the Chinese to continue on their course to further develop their space program. To be the best they can be rather than discourage them and imply the technology was somehow dubiously handed to them.
To: ponder life
Based on the Loral Aerospace fiasco and the Chinese campaign contributions in 1996. The Chinese were given very secret
technology on satellite/missile tracking. Look it up!
