Lazarus, you cannot rain on the parade that is going on today! "I saw our planet. It's so beautiful," Lt. Col Yang Liwei, China's first astronaut, marveled to his family after making it safely home, gently touching down his Shenzhou 5 spacecraft on the grasslands of Inner Mongolia as a crisp dawn broke. The time of landing: 6:23 a.m. The prestige at home and abroad brought by becoming the world's third spacefaring nation along with Russia and the United States is difficult to measure. China's communist leaders have poured their hopes and billions of dollars into it, hoping for just such a splashy success — and the bragging rights that accompany it.
