China's space exploration grounds passengers

And one of them is me. China's launch of the Shenzhou 7  has caused an unannounced closure of the Beijing International Airport which has come as a sudden surprise to most airlines around the world. I'm waiting for Dragon Air to handout free meal vouchers to make up for the now over two-hour delay, and our flight is rumored to be grounded until midnight. This disorder is an appropriate end to a week in Hong Kong where a T-8 Typhoon rocked the island, bankers raced around like mad and mothers brought their babies to hospitals to test for potential kidney stones from consuming mainland milk products.
