Is it just me,
or is anyone else as pumped up about the impending launch of Shenzhou III? In my view competition is very good for space, just looked how fast we progressed during the Cold War period. I just hope that the Chinese can achieve all that they are saying, a space station by 2008, men on the Moon by 2010, and a small manned Lunar outpost by 2015. Such a program would require that the United States respond in kind by trying to get to the Moon first.
