Default Three finalists to be #1 Taikonaut

"Michael R. Grabois ... change $ to "s"" wrote

The AP reports http://abcnews.go.com/wire/World/ap20031013_214.html that
three candidates for Taikonaut #1 arrived at the launch site, strongly
suggesting on a single crewmember for the Shenzou 5 flight.


I'm wondering who will carry the Russian-designed coffin if something with
the Russian-designed systems goes wrong. Or will the Chinese blame any
failure on the Russians as they did to Hughes in the '90's?

The U.S. Government is in the
peculiar position of toppling foreign
governments in the name of democracy.

Oh, how democractic!
