China's first astronaut Yang Liwei said last month that Chinese astronauts may start a branch of China's ruling Communist Party in space, state media reported.

The rats are more communist than the supposed “communists” in China. China may not be a democratic republic but they have become far more capitalist than we are.

Chinese Communists are well to the right of American Democrats. They at least understand how capitalism works.

Remember how proud we were when Americans walked on the moon? Remember the boost in America’s confidence? The technology spinoffs?

China is doing that.

Our NASA director says that the goal of NASA is now Muslim outreach.

They will succeed in their endeavors because they aren’t burdened with making muslims feel good about their contributions to science and technology.

Politically the Chinese are idiot children. But if I had to bet on who would actually, if ever, grow veggies on the moon, or Mars, I would now bet on the Chinese.

NASA’s goal is to eliminate the rich through carbon taxes and make sure that Muslims are not discriminated against. The secondary goal is to put a Hip Hop RAP musician into space to create a song full of cuss words and sex.

What does Muslim outreach entail. Is it the giving of the highest of space science technology to Muslim countries? If so, that would be close to giving the keys to the kingdom away. It would also fit in with the Mohammedan attitude that non-Muslims merely exist to be exploited in any which way they can.
