Poll question: Which country will be next to have a person in space?
Now that China has joined the elite group of countries to have a manned space program, what country could be next to join the Russians, Americans, and now Chinese? People from other nations have gone up but on those respective manned space programs but which country is to be next with their own programs?

1. Another country I thought of at one time was North Korea
but I think they are more interested in building nuclear missles now than putting somebody into space but you never know.

3. I voted "Other"
because the next move by the administration is going to be getting $1 Trillion for Iraq to jump start their space program ... need to raise their national self-esteem and all ...

I don't think Steve Bartman will be safe anywhere else if the Cubs lose tonight.

Fenwick (you know, the Duchy of Grand Fenwick , from "The Mouse That Roared") put a man in space using, I believe, fumes from their exceptional pinot as rocket fuel..

The whole country is going ballistic over the possibility.

11. Israel
Shit, if they can have nukes and all those other weapons in total violation of the law, who's to say there's not a few rockets too? And they must have had more than one astronaut.
