[QUOTE]Originally posted by MinutiaeMan: [QB] Outsourcing to China -- interesting idea. ;) I somehow doubt that China can do the same jobs much cheaper, though. At least, not any time within the next decade or two. The best idea would be something equivalent if ISA/IASA or whatever you want to call it. But China's entry into the manned space age doesn't add much hope for that, considering their characteristic extreme paranoia. IIRC, even the Soviets didn't have their space program permanently under the command of the military, right? After quoting the brief mention last night, CNN published an entire article about [URL=http://www.cnn.com/2003/TECH/space/09/30/china.wanhu/index.html]Wan Hu, the first Chinese taikonaut (in the 1500's)[/URL]. Although common wisdom suggests that the gunpowder rockets simply obliterated Mr. Wan, it's also possible, IMO, that the explosion formed some sort of Kerr loop of superstring material, creating a temporal rift that sent Wan and his primitive spacecraft into another time... :D [/QB][/QUOTE]
