It seems that some are of the opinion that Bush will use the 100th anniversary of the Kitty Hawk flights to announce a new push for manned exploration in space.

Bush proclaims Mars part of the Axis of Evil because Marvin Martian has weapons of mass destruction (the Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator) and has threatened the security of the U.S. (where's the Earth-shattering kaboom?). We invade; we conquer; we begin long, drawn-out conflict with Martian freedom fighters and remaining pro-Marvin forces.
Meanwhile, we find out that the CIA got its intelligence from Cartoon Network.

A Sinonaut would be someone travelling to China.. Denis E. Powell is a stupid man.
I quote from the Wikipedia
quote: The term taikonaut is used for astronauts from China. The term was coined in May 1998 by Chiew Lee Yih from Malaysia, who used it first in newsgroups. Almost simultaneously, Chen Lan coined it for use in the Western media based on the term "taikong" (太空 in pinyin: tai4 kong1), Chinese for space. It is however unclear how to translate the "naut" term into Chinese, and simply using the term taikongren or taikongyuan (taikong person) is problematic since that term is used already to mean space alien.
Chinese officials and newspapers use the term yuhangyuan (宇航員) in Chinese, however, which roughly translates as "space navigator." Unlike the Soviet case, there are no Chinese objections, political or otherwise, to the English use of the term Chinese astronaut.
