China Sending Two People Into Space

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."

Let me get this straight...

The US can't afford to send people to Mars but we can afford to send 2 chinese into space?

62 percent of all shoes and sneakers imported to the United States are made in China. So are 83 percent of all toys and sporting goods, 54 percent of all leather products, 76 percent of all umbrellas, 30 percent of all furniture, and one in four caps and hats.

The US China trade deficit is about $82 billion dollars (last time I checked) and the Apollo program only cost about $25 Billion.

I'm not sure what my point is but I'm sure there is one.

Funny is an opinion

Insightful? Where do the moderators get off moderating knee-jerk political correctness as being Insightful? Mod me as a troll or redundant or whatever crap you may, but when this kind of intolerance for the wrong of sense of humor is considered Insightful while just having a normal sense of humor is attacked is just sad.

Racial based humor is not, logically, indictive of racism.

In other words, the answer to the question where do the moderators get off moderating this racist drivel as being funny? is; Because the think it is funny!

Get some looser shorts, man. I am guessing that one of the differences between my post and the parent, was that I smiled more while writing mine.

Moderators: Mod this however you like, it's your mod point.
