Chinese astronauts land safely after "perfect" space mission
While the Shenzhou 10 spacecraft was in orbit, the crew conducted scientific experiments and presented a class seen by 60 million Chinese students in 80,000 schools. 50% of Chinese major in science, engineering, and technology compared to 13% in the US. The population differences mean that China produces 17 times as many students in the profit making professions as the US. Recent tests showed that Chinese students scored 1st and 1st in math and science; Hong Kong tested separately and scored 3rd and 3rd; and the US was 31st in math and 23rd in science. Wen Jiabao told the Chinese Academy of Science and Technology in 2011 that there would be “freedom and democracy in academic pursuits,” so the West’s democratic arguments for developmemt are not valid. Engineering students do not hold elections to determine the compositions of alloys, and they don’t organize communities to hold debates on the tensile strengths of those alloys.
In addition to space, China introduced the world’s fastest super computer with a speed of 33.86 petaflops on June 17, 2013. China held a successful test of its Baidu (GPS) system that has 30 of 48 satellites or 62.5% in orbit. China sent its deep sea submersibile into global ocean depths to map them, take photographs, and capture specimens of marine creatures and minerals from the bottoms of the oceans. China made a number of scientific advances in space, on land, and in the oceans while the US dropped bombs on the country with which it was at war, dropped bombs on countries with which the US was not at war, and made proposals to drop bombs on more countries with which the US was not at war.
Fortunately, the US destroys US computers, digital cameras, cell phones, and fertilizer, the basic components of smart munitions whenever the US drops bombs. The US burns billions of gallons of US gasoline, aviation fuel, and diesel fuel. The US wastes billions of US man hours in unproductive work. The self-destructive, suicidal wars of the US will leave the world in the hands of the country that chooses scientific development over scientific destruction, China. To win a war is competence; to win a war without fighting that war is genius.
