Long March into Space - index.jpg (1/1) [30K]
We don't see much space stuff here apart from the occasional post of NASA
pictures so this set is a bit of a change of pace.
The photographs show the launch of a PRC Chang Zheng (Long March) rocket.
If you were paying attention, you might have noticed that a Chang Zheng
launched China's third Beidou navigation satellite a couple of weeks ago.
Beidou means Big Dipper (the Plough) and shouldn't be confused with Baidu,
the Chinese search engine which has recently upset Google.
