The Chinese won't "conquer space" by copying what the US and Russia did in the early 60's. They are doing nothing that's fundamentally different than what the US and Russia have already done. Furthermore, the US and Russia have shown that following this path is not sustainable. Launching expendable spacecraft on what ammounts to expendable missiles is an economical dead end. This is also true for the partially resuable space shuttle model, which was long ago abandoned by Russia and the US is in the process of abandoning. > We must conquer space first or our society is doomed ! Exactly why is society doomed if we don't conquer space? Jeff -- Remove icky phrase from email address to get a valid address.
