henrypijames writes "As reported widely in Chinese media, China has began production of and launch preparations for it's new Shenzhou ("divine ship") 6 spaceship. While being roughly equal in design to Shenzhou 5 which sent the first Chinese into space last year (although having capacity for three persons), Shenzhou 6 is supposed to carry two "Taikonaut" next year."

    The poverty line in the US isn't set as the same level as most other countries. It is set at a much higher level. Most people under the poverty line in the US have phone service, cable and a place to live (rent or own). Food can be provided by our food stamp program.
