http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/4/2009/12/500x_rocket.jpg (http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/4/2009/12/rocket.jpg)I wouldn't get nervous if I was flying through Chinese air space, and saw a rocket breaking its way through some clouds, just a couple of kilometers away. Nope. Nooooot nervous at all.
I know I'm being irrational. After all, I find it normal that NASA launches a rocket (http://gizmodo.com/5391819/high-res-video-of-ares-i+x-launch) or the Space Shuttle after clearing a security perimeter from commercial flights. The Chinese obviously do the same, but somehow their perimeter seems smaller than NASA's:
Or maybe it's just my imagination, and my instinctive fear of China (http://gizmodo.com/5150092/303000-people-extremely-terrified-of-chinese-people) taking over the world to make us all wear Mao shirts. [Break (http://www.break.com/index/chinese-rocket-fly-by.html)]
