China Can't Get a Man on the Moon...

But they plan on going ahead with a full scale test of nuclear fusion.

China to Probably Blow Up World

The first plasma discharge from China's experimental advanced
superconducting research center -- the so-called "artificial sun" --
is set to occur next month.



Call me crazy, but I don't really trust China to make an "artificial Sun" next month when they need over a DECADE to land a guy on the Moon. No one else on this planet has even come up with a fool proof way to create a sustaining nuclear fusion reaction of any substantial size. But China's going for it. Next month.

I think this all goes back to my prior post where I mocked China and mentioned how Japan would be building stars before the Chinese could harness solar power. Listen, China... I was joking. A jest... a quip... a satirical entry into my blog.

No need to get all huffy and try to prove your intelligence by getting us all "blowed up", as some in the southern United States would say.

The plasma discharge will draw international attention since some
scientists are concerned with risks involved in such a process.
But Chinese researchers involved in the project say any
radiation will cease once the test is completed.

I'm considering bumping up my wedding to next Wednesday, in case anyone was wondering. Between the fighting in the Middle East, the crazy-haired bastard running North Korea, and China doing it's best to imitate God in the Book of Genesis, it's a safe bet that all of us might not make it to next January.

Haha, I'd hope so! The honeymoon might have to take a downgrade on such short notice though.

Perhaps Mobile, Alabama will suffice? I hear they have specimens of white trash that haven't changed since the Civil War. It'll be almost as historically cool as the Mayan ruins. =D

Wel...ok, but that is a close second...it would be cheaper! Score!
