BEIJING -- Chinese astronauts will give a Chinese-made spacesuit its first real test when they attempt the country's first-ever spacewalk...
I'm sorry, but to me the descriptor "Chinese-made" does anything but inspire confidence. As in Chinese-made toothpaste, Chinese-made pet food, Chinese-made painted toys and most recently, Chinese-made baby formula.
When I read this story all I could think of is those poor bastards walking around with nothing but a spacesuit, of questionable quality and construction, standing between them and the dark void of space. On the plus side, if they're at all familiar with the TV show MacGyver I suppose they might be able to put that gold sticker to good use.
