CNSA PAO Outperforms NASA PAO

Oops, article on China space launch jumps the gun

“An article describing China’s long-awaited space mission was launched Thursday hours before astronauts even left the launch pad. The country’s official news agency Xinhua posted an article on its Web site Thursday written as if the three astronauts had already been launched into space. The Xinhua article is dated Sept. 27 — two days from now — and comes complete with an entire dialogue between the astronauts.”

Editor’s note: NASA PAO often struggles to keep pace with events. But in China they have found a way to be days ahead of events. Can NASA PAO ever catch up with this latest Chinese accomplishment? Meanwhile, poor right wing Patti at the Examiner clearly has no sense of humor.
