China in Outer Space

Cynacism and sarcasm aside (no, really) I congratulate the great nation of China and her 1.28 billion citizens on the successful flight of Shenzhou V, which concluded with great celebration today. The Dragon has joined the Bear and the Eagle in the heavens. May the stars in these constellations burn together and burn bright as the wings of the 21st Century turn the unknown into treasure.

Once the world is seen from outside, I've always believed, there is no escaping the wholistic entirety of life. The reason I've turned into such a pain in the butt is that all evidence defies that notion.
