Is anyone else interested in the ongoing effort of the Chinese space 
program? It frightens me a lil that they seem to have the interest that 
we lack. Should we, as a nation/culture/society, stand still while they 
catch us up and go beyond? It seems to me that the Chinese should 
motivate us in nearly the same way the Russians did. In long term 
effects this seems much more important than chassing fown terrorist 
factions.
