Chinese Gay Scouts Build Space Ladder

Ever since last April’s successful orbiting of geosynchronous satellite Bite Me, Homophobic Comrade, the satellite has been slowly spinning a single filament of carbon nanosilk. Now that the filament has neared ground level, the scouts have begun using it as the core of a ladder that will eventually climb all the way back up to the satellite. “Mount Everest, Bah!” says Chen Wenming. “Grab your pressure suit and get climbing!”

    /me thinks a vacation to China is in order in the near future.

    I’m impressed they managed to compensate the satellite for the mass of the nanosilk. That’s one long lever!

    Any word on the satellite’s breeding program?
