[gundam] [OT] China's Space Program

[Joseph Riggs]

We've talked here about China's new space effort, and also a little about the new space race that it seems to have triggered.  An article on this that I found interesting just popped up on MSNBC.com, and I figured it might be of interest here.   http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21546012/   In summary, the primary focus of the article is on the effect that a new spaceport will have on the Chinese space program.  In particular, the fact that it's close enough to a port to allow for shipping rocket parts by sea from other factories will be useful as it means that the width of the rockets that China designs and launches won't be restricted by the width of China's railroad tunnels.     junior
