Chinese Human Launch Pool
Written by Fraser Cain
Alright speculators, let's put our brains together and predict when the Chinese will put a human into space. I've added a new thread into the Universe Today forum. Go ahead and add the date and time you think the first yuhangyuan (Chinese astronaut) will launch into space. You have to pick a one-hour block and I'm assuming that everything is in Greenwich Mean Time (hint: the launch facility is at GMT+8, so if it's noon in London, it's 8:00pm in China). I'll maintain the list up at the top of the thread as new people post their replies.
Since it's my website, I get to go first. 
So, I'm guessing October 22 between 11:00-12:00 GMT. I'd love to hear your justification for your guess as well. Night launch? Day launch? If enough of you join in, maybe I'll hand out a prize for the closest guess.

P.S. Errata: I should have said "one-half billionth of a degree", not "half billion" in yesterday's issue. There's a big difference.
