This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

I am happy to see the three Chinese astronauts (or Taikonauts) to complete the space walk and to came back and land safely on earth. It is an amazing achievement for the country. It may be a small steps for mankind, yet it is, indeed, a great leap forward for the Chinese space exploration program! Besides, I also believe the success of the Chinese space walk will encourage and inspire many young students to study science and technology, to inspire their dream to seek and to explore the universe. That is a wonderful things.

If the Chinese mission to the moon happens in 2020, it will only be 41 years after the US landing on the moon. Some have speculated that there are dead Russian Cosmonauts on the moon, but there won't be any cliams on that event coming out soon. All conspiracy theorists who believe that the US landing on the moon was faked, need to report to the nearest MRI center for a brain scan and then arrange to get off unemployment and move out of their parents' home.

There is some validity to the claim of staging in the Chinese venture into space since recordings of Chinese astronauts voices reporting all well from space were released to the press a couple of hours before actual (or claimed) liftoff time.

Perhaps this will lend some energy to the US space program. A little competition to get things going again.
