China does a first in the world for space
China's test satellite returns to Earth CNN "The government has said that the satellite launch was the first in the world to use a non-steel launch structure, a 91 meter- (300 foot-) tower made of cement reinforced by steel bars." I'm curious as to why the concrete structure. Hmm...are they thinking about sending concrete structures to the Moon? Nah, that's just to far out... SteveS
