Final Shenzhou test-flight expected within days [Dec/24-Dec/31?]
And when the first manned Shenzhou mission takes place, NASA's spokesperson will yawn and say "Been there, done that!"
Don't expect a revival of the
'good-old-days' of NASA in hot competition and rivalry with the
old Soviet space program.
NASA is too jaded, too bureaucratic,
and too cowardly in approaching
congress or your Prez for more money.
