A Chinese satellite has accidentally landed on a house in the southwestern province of Sichuan on return to earth. The roof of the house was destroyed but the Chinese media report no-one was injured.

Remarkably, the capsule was not damaged. It had been in space for a total of eighteen days for scientific research.

Chinese space experts, not perturbed by the incident, say that their landing technology is among the best in the world.

Thank goodness it wasn't an American satelite, or else they'd be screaming rape and murder again.

LOL, Johnny. Sometimes I think we ought to make you an honorary American, but I know what a stigma that title would give you over there.

I heard this was a crucial mission -- they slipped a menu under the door of the International Space Station.

I suppose that since only a handful of nations in the world can send sattelites up...that its nt hard to be among the best....doesn't mean they are one of the best...just among the best...
