Chinese spacemen and their challenges
China has sent more astronauts into space, this time, its second and third. Quite admirable, but mostly, quite foolish. First of all, what do these space missions achieve that fourty years of American and Soviet/Russian space exploration hasn't achieved. Secondly, China has a lot of social, political, and economic issues that are more pressing than the prestige of sending people into space. Yes, this is about pride and prestige, but I think China has plenty of reasons to be proud.
Well, at least the Chinese space program has made SOME contributions to space exploration.

I really do wonder about the "soft plastic hose and air-pumping device," though.

Just imagine - someday in the not-too-distant future, a millionare will buy a trip to space to invent...the Blue Angel of Death!!
Hey dude, what's the Blue Angel of Death?
Never heard of a Blue Angel? It's simply a fart lit on fire, and the flame is, well, blue.
I see I have angered many church groups.
