Chinese austronaut space-born I'm surprised no one here mentioned it yet; china has joined Russia and the USA as the third country in the world ever to launch a human being into space. In my opinion that is totaly awesome. My hopes are that China sometime in the future would have much more agressive plans concerning space exploration; more funds, bolder exploration missions, etc. They plan on joining the International Space Station, as well as building their own space station in the future. Rumors are that they plan to go exploring the moon and mars. Other rumors suggest militay purposes. How many of you have heard of this? What do you think?
I would be all for them helping us out on the space station. We have it up there....might as well us it and not waste it. So another pair of hands would be welcomed.
