Welcome to 'Transmitting to Earth'. I'm Charssun and I'll be your host. This blog and podcast is a byproduct of VoyagerRadio.com and is intended to provide the most timely information about this Internet radio station. It is also intended to be a fun and accessible electronic journal with commentary focusing on Internet radio, podcasting and webcasting issues and technologies, music, and some of my other interests. I also offer personal perspective about being an Internet radio broadcaster (and podcaster).

China Joins the Great Gig in the SkyChina has launched its first manned spacecraft, becoming the third nation--just the third--to have a space program capable of manned (need I say humanned?) space travel. Now you may be thinking, wait a minute--aren't they just a little behind? As in, 4 decades behind? Well, yes and no. China, although just now catching up with the U.S. and Russian space programs' past accomplishments, have demonstrated remarkable technological progress over the past few years, creating a space program that has the potential to contend with NASA, which has been under heavy scrutinization since the horrific explosion of the space-shuttle Columbia in February and had been criticized for a variety of other issues prior to that. China may now be in a position to surpass the Russian manned space program and enter into an full-scale competition with the U.S. over space travel supremacy.
Hopefully, our nations will find a way to join hands in this adventure rather than forestall humankind's slow, but somewhat steady--and certainly eventual--realization of the dream of journeying through, and potentially living in, outer space. Competition usually provokes innovation; let's just hope those innovations produce reasonably safe space vehicles, and that we, as a public, have the courage and the sense to allow those brave and heroic individuals among us to go for the ride.
