China confirms launch date.

Between the 15th and 17th October China will launch it's first maned space flight. Good look to the astronauts/cosmonauts

Wow that's crazy, who'd ever think they get to space.

Even more astounding is that with previous "mooon landings", China will be the first nation to land men on the moon.

Some interesting finds here though, articles suggestive of China actually using this for "military purposes....

Has anyone heard or seen the 'guests' list yet? I was wondering if that Democack, Bill Clinton and Hitlery, are or were invited.....wouldn't surprise me if they had front row viewing seats.......Chinese officials laughing, with "thumbs-up" behind their backs while this launching occurs........

Hey Seekerof, i'll put 10 bucks on china not reaching the upper atmosphere due to a *mysterious explosion* or the launch date being called off over *weather patterns* either way perhaps we may see some retribuition for Columbia.
