It's Science! [ Harrison ]
China has launched a satellite carrying fruit and vegetable as part of a plan to help develop space-enhanced produce to feed the country's 1.3 billion people.
I wonder how much yuan that cost. It's probably cheaper to just get take out for everybody.
China has been experimenting with space-bred seeds for many years, with rice and wheat exposed to space later offering increased yields.
In a few years there will be some lonely Chinese guy sitting in space bonding with Huey, Louie, and Dewey and bellyaching about how "The Man" hates plants.
Listen, Jiang. Try free markets and private property. You'll soon have more food than you know what to do with.
