China's Progress Called A "Mark Contrast" To US Developments.
AFP (10/14, Sonmez) continues coverage how Tuesday is the 10th anniversary of China's first manned space launch, examining the future of the Chinese space program. The article notes there is a "sharp contrast" between the progress in China verses the "uncertain" future of spaceflight in the US. There also is a "symbolic coincidence" that around the time the ISS is scheduled to end, China plans to launch its own space station. Joan Johnson-Freese of the US Naval War College said that will make China the "de facto" leader in space.
