| BEIJING - A news story describing a successful launch of China's long-awaited space mission and including detailed dialogue between astronauts launched on the Internet Thursday, hours before the rocket had even left the ground. The country's official news agency Xinhua posted the article on its Web site Thursday, and remained there for much of the day before it was taken down. A staffer from the Xinhuanet.com Web site who answered the phone Thursday said the posting of the article was a "technical error" by a technician. |

| #2 The question is, did they already launch and they are waiting until they land safely before "pretending" to launch. Sort of a slightly more open way than the Soviets used to do it. Or will they bullshit the launch no matter what happens and say all went well. tu3031's comment is brilliant. |
