China's first manned space mission blasted off yesterday, and the name "Yang Liwei" joined that of Yuri Gagarin and Alan Shepard as their nations' first men to fly into space. I should probably find this scary, for some political reason, but in reality I find it exciting as hell. I confess to being troubled by the seemingly-growing attitude of "Screw space exploration, let's work on jacking the human brain up to a computer instead". Personally, I don't see why we can't have both.
