Well, my dad showed me this video of the chinese rocket launch and it looks totally fake to me. I mean. doesn't the fire look staged and the rocket itself looks like a model rocket. :? Does anyone see this?!? :?

Link to video.

I don't know, but there is something fishy about that fire. :?

EDIT: I don't mean to be criticizing/crushing the Chinese at all. I'm just wondering what it looks like to you. :)

Is this just another reason to bash China? I've heard enough anti-China comments throughout the Olympics. And no; I saw it live and I didn't think it looked staged...

Who cares. We all need the space technology, we don't want to be stuck on Earth forever, do you?

I doubt the Chinese would fake something like that. If they were faking it other nations would know and call it as it is. China wouldn't risk that at this point.

You're probably just being thrown off by the fact that the sound comes seconds after the flame. TV and movies make it seem like these should always come simultaneously, but in reality sound travels much slower than light.

Looks real enough to me. What would be the point of faking it anyway?

NASA has been doing things but they are not funded to do things that will catch the medias attention for long. NASA and Japan worked together to send a Japanese space laboratory into space not to long ago.

EDIT: OH NOES what if they are creating a base like in Akira which shoots lasers:shock:
