A race against a stroll

Red China, feeling its oats, boasts of putting a space station into orbit as proof of their emerging superpower status.  Meanwhile, Bigelow Aerospace plans to build a larger station at lower cost and most likely sooner.

The lesson: Red China is not only forty years behind the times, but for their "superpower" bid they're in a space race against a hotel.

Or the Isle of Man.

Rules for submitting comments:

1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.

2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.

3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.

4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.

Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.

Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.
