HuffPo already censors conservative and centrists via their "moderator" system -- if you slam or criticize liberal/left icons and policies, or support Sara Palin, your comment will not be posted. She already has Thought Police in place, and this will translate to everything else eventually. AOL committed suicide the day it put her in charge of its media.

Long March is man-rated -- it's what China has uses for their manned space flights.

Soyuz is man-rated -- it's been used to take astronauts and cosmonauts into space for decades.

The SpaceX Falcon 9 is being designed as a man-rated launch system to take crew to the International Space Station.

And how solid is the "man rated" criteria, anyway? The Shuttle is "Man rated" yet has a 1.5% catastrophic failure rate -- we've lost 2 flights, 14 crew, in just 132 flights.

There are some 30,000 commercial flights each day in the US. If the "Man rated" standard were applied to commercial aviation, in the US alone we'd have 450 fatal airliner crashes every day!!

We need to move beyond expendable-hybrid vehicles (heck, we designed one in the 1960s like this called the X20 Dynasoar) to fully re-suable space access vehicles that can take us to airliner-type operations, safety and costs.
