China to build space station

It's a good thing that someone is always taking the responsibility we humans are meant to do. And I hope USA will not just become part of history in space exploration. Who ever has means to step up adn do this, we should be happy. Space exploration is a key to our survival in the future.

That's you're problem, not mine ! I don't have a problem. I'm not the one making non sequiturs and following it up with junk posting. This is a discussion forum, if you post something which is unclear, makes no sense or is just plane wrong you have to expect people to question it or criticise it. If you feel that you need to respond that's fine, but please do so in a mature manner.

Hate them or love them but speaking of space exploration they have the right idea. Watch out in 10 years they maybe the leader in space.

At least China cares about space exploration.

Good news, go for it china We need more nations in space, perhaps this will ignite a second race? Let hope so. Anyways national programs are getting passé. It is still early to say, but I really hope that the private sector grows. If it becomes reality the new space race will be held by private companies, and not expensive governements But mean while, good luck to you china

Total and utter nonsense. The Chinese launched their first satellite in April 1970, as a result of a programme begun in the 1950s, but don't let facts get in the way eh? And finaly put a man in orbit in 2005. It,s possibly one thing to get a 5 lbs satelite in orbit and many levels further to actually have a semi-permanent manned prescence. Don't get me wrong though,I don't trust NASA or the Aerican government either but they are already in space eh? I actually read, I'm sure it was a rumor before any mods try to kill me, that the firs man put in orbit by china was being punished for poor test ... [More]

This is exciting, I don't think there is anything to fear from Chinas space program, and anyway space exploration should be a joint endeavor between the nations

The more nations on this Rock go into Space and explore for the better of mankind the better. We need new Growth Remember Space is Big ! Mind boggleing Big ! We all can come together in our travels into space.

I, for one welcome our new Chinese overlords!
