I'm no pessimist; just a realist.
Let's say that China opens up and becomes a democratic republic...
Let's say that China stays communist...
Either way they out-number us---they're a massive giant that has its eye on having a bigger role in the world!
I can only hope this launch will energize our space agency and the populace (especially our young people) to want a piece of the space action.
I know I'm dissapointed--- where are our Mars colonies?!!!

Iraq’s army outnumbered us (And claimed that it was no Afghanistan), demonstrating that population and intent are impotent without the proper organization and experience.
