I'm not even going to mention the fact that China has been launching rockets for years. A space walk is not a whole lot more challenging. Congrats, they developed a space suit. Whhopppeee! Take it as sour-graping ... but tell me how this is significant in any way? As an American, we are in no way of sour-graping. We are simply saying ... so what? WHY SHOULD I BE AS ENTHUSIASTIC AS YOU when we have done this for years? This is not about the US, don't even begin to dream that China is in any way comparable to what the Soviet Union once was. Fact is, they will still be just another space capable country relying on others because NO country has the money to do any major advancement alone.
PS. Make sure you make a classic rodsky post and digress from the topic.
