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. |

(A better name) And let's not forget that Clinton and Gore gave them the technology to put their payloads up (including *nuclear* payloads)... All for some illegal campaign contributions. After many failed attempts, the Chinese decided it was cheaper and easier to bribe demoRATS. Sorry! Not trying to pick a fight! Just stating historical facts. |
