Heck!, -the Red Chinese have only Recently begun doing MERCURY type Missions! And this some 40 years After our Fact! And how many of these have they sent up yet?, -maybe 2 or 3 ?!

Indeed they're now so Belatedly Shooting for the Moon! If Mao and all his Revolutions were so Great, -then Why Didn't they Race us then!? A la the Soviets, -who at least were in a Very Respectable Running! In *this* vein, -"Respectable" and "Chinese Space Program" *Can't* be said in the same Sentence! (Save this one). Our Renewed Space Resolve, -that of our Upcoming Orion and Aries Programs, -an Enhanced "Apollo II", (thats Roman Numeral Two, -not Apollo 11 !), -will again Beat the Pants Off of them there! (Notwithstanding the Fact that between Everything Else, -I don't know where *all* the Funding and Resources for such, are going to come from!).
