Either my life it going pretty well, or it's going down the tubes. I'm not quite sure which one it is yet. It's a much finer line than I had thought. Anyway, I don't want to talk about me. Let's talk about what's going on in the world:
China sent a shuttle into space, and the space crew is preparing to return to Earth. It'll be interesting to see where China goes from here if they choose to enter a space race. Sure, they're really far behind, but even bringing about a LITTLE more parity in space capabilities will go a long way in competing with the United States. I'm sure they have a few satellites up there somewhere, but if their space program becomes a top national priority (which it looks like is beginning to happen) there will be a lot of uncertainty in the future. Of course, China maintains the policy of supporting a "peaceful rise," and for the time being I don't see any reason to be too skeptical of that.
The Iraqi vote. I believe they're trying to ratify a new constitution, right? I'm not entirely sure our war with Iraq has been cost-effective, or that we will see any returns any time soon, but at least this is a good thing in itself. At least in my opinion. We'll see. Oil prices are going to Hell, so even though I'd prefer the gov't spending more on researching alternative energy sources, since that initiative is not going to be taken seriously any time soon, I guess getting Iraqi oil is the best we'll get.
