Chinese Spacewalk

Futurismic led me to a bit of off-planet information. Looks like the Chinese are heading back to space. After hosting the Olympics in 2008, the Chinese hope to celebrate their first spacewalk, with the aim of eventually building their very own space station. Lofty goals for an up and coming Superpower. And here we are limping along with a couple of ancient shuttles. We'd better get to building that Space Elevator if we want to keep ahead of the Joneses, or in this case the Lees. (The space elevator link requires registration, but it's free.)
