Too Funny...

The Chinese posted a detailed article on their space launch...before the launch. The following excerpts from Xinhua.net quoted on Yahoo! News prove how prescient the Chinese are, since the launch won't happen until the 27th.

"After this order, signal lights all were switched on, various data show up on rows of screens, hundreds of technicians staring at the screens, without missing any slightest changes ...

'One minute to go!'

'Changjiang No.1 found the target!'...

"The firm voice of the controller broke the silence of the whole ship. Now, the target is captured 12 seconds ahead of the predicted time ...

'The air pressure in the cabin is normal!'

"Ten minutes later, the ship disappears below the horizon. Warm clapping and excited cheering breaks the night sky, echoing across the silent Pacific Ocean."

Thanks for the quick explanation of Godel's Theorem's. I just discovered another hole in my public school education.
