I hope those astronauts don't get distracted during their spacewalks wondering if their freeze dried food is contaminated with melamine!

yawn

just a quick history update for 828a: first spacewalk was in 1965 when Alexey Leonov stepped out of Voskhod 2.
Which means nothing but that you oh so brilliant guys needed 43 years of stealing and copying to get to the scientific and technological level that the russians (with some German POW help) reached almost half a century ago, using a spacecraft with the computing power of my 10 HK$ pocket calculator.

oh I'm very impressed.

Fooey,

I think Long March Rockets require 600 mile spacing.

I wonder if they actually believe the crap they write....

Milk taints even space triumph | theage.com.au

Colonel Zhai's space endeavours have cast to one side the tainted milk scandal that had gripped the country until Shenzhou VII lifted off on Thursday.

An editorial run in major newspapers said the success of China's "nation-building feats" demonstrated the superiority of its political system to the West's "corrupt, divisive and inept policy-making".

In an unmentioned irony, the company at the heart of the scandal, Sanlu, is the official sponsor and milk supplier to the space program.
And the irony of Sanlu being a sponsor...

Nice to know that the Chinese big wigs are in no danger of being exposed to all the sh1t that goes into food production for their lesser comrades. (In communism, all are equal, of course, but some are more equal than others).
