Red Space

China launches 30-day manned mission to test space station

Yeah, that's right: the Chinks have a space station. They put it up while our media was focused on trying to keep everyone from noticing that Hillary is dying of some dread disease. Meanwhile, U.S. astronauts are hitching a ride with Russkies (who are preparing to invade Eastern Europe, by the way) to our overpriced space habitrail.

Our one ace in the hole is the private space programs, three of which currently show real promise. If they can make it work, we'll leapfrog ahead of the Chinese. Yeah, it'll be American corporations rather than the U.S. government, but that's the way it should have been all along. Besides, do you really want today's government bureaucrats in charge of anything more complicated than running a city swimming pool? Most of them can't even keep the fucking roads in driveable condition nowadays, and NASA has a mandated focus on making muzzies feel good about their utter lack of accomplishments. We'd better hope men like Allen, Bezos and Carmack continue spending their billions on building better rockets, otherwise you'll be enrolling your grandkids in Chinese language classes.
