That includes two crewed Shenzhou spaceships, two cargo craft liftoffs and two laboratory modules.
The country has traditionally taken a cautious approach with its space programme but its busy roster suggests China now wants to take a leading role in the skies above.

Those who don’t know what that means will say some pretty

“Who cares”
SMH in disbelief.

Meanwhile, NASA concerns itself with “outreach” to goat rapists and dick choppers.
The US of A has more transvestites so I feel safe.
