No project of late though has received as much flack as the International Space Station. Scrape TV

Beijing, China – With the Olympics only months away, the world’s attention is focused on China like never before. Focus on the superpower-to-be has never been this intense, not only for the Olympic effort itself, but also of course for its human rights policies. Scrape TV
