Go Taikonauts!
sorry for the lack of posts lately. I’ve been swamped with schoolwork.
Yay! China launched a man into space! It’s about damned time too. I’ve been waiting for this for years now, when I first discovered the Go Taikonauts website.
I certainly hope this sparks a new space race. I think we’re becoming far too bored with space missions. I blame that partly on the International Space Station. In retrospect, it seems like it was a well thought out idea to justify shuttle launches for another decade. You know that for the price of this war in Iraq, at least the first price before being revised up a few weeks ago, we could have sent a manned mission to mars? $100b is the price tag. Think of it! We could have had the reality TV that we got from the war, far lighter casualties, and colonized a new land that didn’t already have people in it!
Despite what my good friend Nina (who’s living in China for a year) says about how they need to work on drainage and garbage disposal first, I think it is a noble effort and I hope the shoot for the moon. In any case, I extend my congratulations to the CCP for this achievement. Go taikonauts!
