Default 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.

Ahhh Sooo! The Long *Dong* rocket! (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.
