China confirms plans for manned moon landing

All you guys have to do is show the readers a baseline standard of a PRIOR reusable space vehicle so the readers can see how the Space Shuttle is a 'failure'. Can you do that?

everyone has their opinions, but you do have a serious problem of forcing others to your opinion.

some people like to use 'big' and exaggerated words to express their view and you are one of them for sure

This is amusing... People are bashing the Space Shuttle, which could launch 6 or more people plus an enormous payload into orbit, while they are all jazzed about a 2 or 3 person capsule that was finally able to execute an orbital rendezvous, something the USA and the USSR did in the early 1960's.

The Shuttle boosted and then repaired the Hubble telescope among many other outstanding achievements. And the ISS wouldn't exist now without the contributions of the shuttle.

By all means feel good about the Chinese space program, but to bash the nation that landed there 40+ years ago, the country that has sent dozens of probes to every planet in this solar system, including probes that have exited the solar system and are now on their way to the interstellar void... a bit silly, IMO.

All those pretty pictures, all that data, thanks, NASA.
