Amazons In Space! I read an interesting article about the fact that China's upcoming manned spaceflight was such a big deal because it was the first new manned space program in over 4 decades, since the U.S. and Soviet Union stepped up their space race in 1961. Which is true to an extent, but not completely accurate. While China will be the first country since the U.S. and Russia to start a manned space program, that doesn't mean that it's the only one. Forty-two years ago, it was a race to see whether the USA or USSR would reach space first. Today, the space race is between China and the guy that created Quake (who formed Armadillo Aerospace, mentioned in here a while back), among others--though I doubt either of them sees is that way. So, anyway, it turns out that also working to start a manned space program is Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, who likely actually has the resources to do it.
