Gawain 0 #2 October 8, 2003 This is really significant. If successful, China will become only the third country which can launch a man into space on its own resources. Quite an exclusive club. I hope it goes well too.So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

tinfoil 0 #3 October 8, 2003 A nice way to show power to the world. But what do you think China would do if the mission failed? Or landed in the US? “- - Sumo is the greatest of sports. It has power, grace, speed and cluture. And most importantly, two fat bastards smacking the shit out of each other. ” Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheAnvil 0 #4 October 8, 2003 I think they'll try again. They're doing something that has already been done successfully and they've certainly put a lot of resources into it. I figure they'll launch into a prograde orbit (probably 28.25 degrees if they go from Xichang, 40.4 if from Shuang), LEO of course, then re-enter. Why the hell do anything else? I think Shuang will be the launch site if the yahoo article is correct. I forget the other launch site they have.Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
