I saw a show on the Discovery channel where the Chinese first tested their Long March rocket. The thing veered off course and slammed into a nearby town. The Chinese pretty much hushed it up and brushed off the failure. They continued their Long March program unabated. They have already demonstrated a level of commitment that far surpasses any other space-fairing power. They just need a larger scale booster and they can attempt to send their taikonauts to the moon. The Long March is comparable to our Gemini program. They're only a few years away at having the large boosters they need for a moon launch.

Go Taikonauts!
