China Plans Deep Impact Mission

Comatose51 writes "China is planning its own Deep Impact mission. The goal of the mission, unlike the exploratory NASA project, is to push potential life-ending comets or asteroids away from a collision course with the earth." From the article: " The third nation to launch a man into space has lofty space ambitions that include putting two astronauts into orbit this September and eventually sending up a space station and even a manned mission to the moon."

Oh, they saw that movie too...

Alternatively:

The goal of the mission, unlike the exploratory NASA project, is to push potential life-ending comets or asteroids away from a collision course with China and divert them toward Mongolia.

To save money the Chinese have decided to combine the first manned mission with the deep impact mission.

What about sound?

[Krankheit]

NASA had visual, but I am hoping China can one-up NASA and put a microphone onboard so we can hear the exciting sounds of a space collision. Did George Lucas do this?

I, for one, think they should attach a giant nose so they can smell it too.

In a vaccum, both should be equally useful.

World killer?

[Sancho]

All these "deep impact" projects are starting to freak me out. Does the One World Government know something we don't?

There is much less likelihood of that happening since it's unlikely that your but (and the rest of your GI tract) is capable of holding even one monkey. Not to mention, monkeys cannot fly. So you would also have yo have monkeys that are bizarrely small and equipped with flying apparatus of some kind thereby doubling the space (flying equipment = 1 monkey in size) required to house monkeys.

Whereas, it has been scientifically proven that *something* is out there neare Uranus and Neptune causing a gravitational pull that was unexpected. Before NASA started their cover-up story, they mistakenly reported the possibility that this is a tenth planet back in the 80s. Then the one world government made the news sources that reported the story retract it without further explanation. There is only one explanation for all of this: a planet killing planet or comet is coming back this way on it's 4000 year orbit.

When it returns, the Niburu are expected to invade in order to reclaim their slave race (us). I expect that they will weed out the unexpected mutants and pick the people that will make the best slaves. This means that the U.S. is their primary target since a majority of the population there is well prepared for mind control. This leads many to think that the one world government (that G.W. Bush and Dick Cheney are part of and now Tony Blair has been admitted into the secret cabal)has been in contact with the Niburu and has promised to program their citizenry into willing slaves through the use of Fox television and Channel 4. In exchange, this secret cabal will have their families spared. Just watch The X-Files movie where Chris Carter attempts to inform us about what's happening behind the scenes of our one world government.

As you can see, there is a lot of evidence proving that Planet X, and domination by the Niburu (formerly referred to as "god" or "gods") will return to Earth. I am confident that Planet X is coming back and this is based on sound science. The crop circles have been a warning from the aliens residing on Earth that we have yet to decipher. They live among us, but as more of an entity rather than beings in disuise. They live within many of us. At night, whilst we sleep, they awaken and cause many of us to lead a second life. Sleep walking is one manifestation of this occurrence. But the ones who are truly successful manage to get people to wake up in the middle of the night and channel the alien consiousness' power at empty fields thereby rendering the crop circles in the ancient language of the Niburu and Sumeria.

Why do they do this instead of just posting on the internet? Because, much like white explorers of the old days, they consider us to be primitives. They see our technology aswe saw the stone and jawbone tools. Many white explorers would walk up to the native peoples of different lands and attempt to speak english to them. This is no different. There is a barrier to understanding. At this time, the human race is a lot like the people in the movie "The Gods Must Be Crazy". We have appropriated alien technology from Roswell (where do you think Intel got it's chip designs from). One time, I saw a photo of an artifact recovered from Roswell that was essentially a Pentium-like die. But the photo was taken in 1950! So much like the Coke bottle in the movie, we are only using alien technology at a fraction of it's capabilties. If we built a proper chip core based exactly on the Roswell cores (I believe they recovered 16 of these cores), it's likely that we would have a sentient computing system with a telephatic interface.

It still amazes me how many people there are who choose to remain ignorant of the truth when the evidence is out there. Trying to laugh off the truth by saying "Monkeys COULD fly out of my butt" simply illustrates your fear at accepting the truth. If you have a better explanation for these kinds of things, I'd like to hear it.

Ahhh, the advantages of not having a proper modern legal system

If it was Europe trying to pull this shit, we'd have a second defendant!

I for one...

[Serapth]

look forward to a nation finally putting a man on the moon, instead of faking it! :)

A Chinese Moon Landing

[PrntlUnit27]

What if they don't find a US flag up there?

You see...

[Surazal]

China's not happy since they are the fireworks experts. They don't want to be outdone.

I kid. ;^)

Re:stupid reporters

[Snarfangel]

It was NOT named for the movie, in fact the project was named before the movie was made.

The next thing you'll claim is that Armageddon isn't a made-up name at all, but based on some old book.

Very original idea

[Hao Wu]

Only genius of China nation think so clearly for future requirments of Grate Space missions.

The Nasa needs to play catch up games now, I beleive. (If try the copying of ideas, then perhaps you will find...)

Re:China is being very ambitious

[Bimo_Dude]

I wonder, when they finally land someone on the moon, will they say "We came in peace for all mankind"?

Nope. They will say, "All your moonbase are belong to us." :)

Instead of "Made in China"

[vchoy]

Just imagine:

One big label on earth:

"Saved By China"

Re:China is being very ambitious

[Burning1]

Why wouldn't they have plans?

People are always asking themselves "what if." The US military has plans for full scale thermo-nuclear war with canada. I have plans to teleport into strange women's bedrooms. Scientists especially tend to plan things out, even if they aren't likely.

We're all waiting on impetus and technology.

That's impossible!

[you-nix-boy]

After all, nudging a comet with enough accuracy to hit a point on the earth would take unheard of mathematical precision, requiring millions of skilled... oh, wait, never mind...
