Came across this on through a link from MSN.

Given the importance homonyms in the Chinese Culture, I presume that our great leader chose the name of their lunar program carefully and considered all possible similar sounding words and meanings attached to this name. It seems after careful consideration, they have chosen "China Lunar Exploration Program" or "CLEP"

Despite their rhetoric of how their space program is HOMEGROWN, kudos to them for at least surreptitiously admitting that their space program is after all stolen from the Russians.
