Another Taikonaut Launch This Week

JPThorne writes "BBC Online is reporting that China will launch a manned space mission sometime between Wednesday and Sunday of this week. Two as yet unnamed Chinese Astronauts will undertake the mission." From the article: "The launch comes almost exactly two years after China's first manned space flight, which made astronaut Yang Liwei a national hero. Unlike the last mission, Xinhua said a live broadcast of the launch would be provided to foreign media. Analysts say the fact the authorities are being more open about this launch may indicate that they are more confident of its success. "

Like the rest of the world has realized for at least five years now, your supposed "system of democracy" has failed. That's why you're mired in Iraq and Afghanistan. That's why there was rampant voting fraud during your last two elections. You speak of democracy, yet you know nothing of it.
