I am really excited to hear that China will put a man in space later this year. I read that they will shoot for the Moon after that.
My personal thoughts are that if China wasent doing all of this, no one in our government (U.S.) would care about Nuclear Rockets or getting to Mars. If China gets to the Moon, we are no longer "the best" in the area of space travel.
I really love China for their commitment to space, and the ripple effects it's causing.

Hi
Would nuclear rockets be used in the Earth's atmosphere to get to orbit, or would they be used soley for travel in space? Either way, I'm really excited to hear that Bush will support their development.
Thanks!
