Mandatory Science Link
And here's my mandatory science link for the week: China plans manned moon landing around 2017.
The project also includes setting up a moon-based astronomical telescope, measuring the thickness of the moon's soil and the amount of helium-3 on the moon -- an element some researchers say is a perfect, non-polluting fuel source.
Talk about your nuclear crisis... are we seriously going to let China get to the moon before us and take all our Freedom Fuel? God took that extra neutron off the helium on the moon for the US of A, and it's high time we claimed what's ours.
