I would love to see any kind of manned spaceflight actually happen -- I kind of wish they would skip the BS and go straight to Mars, risky though it may be. Science and humanity in general could use the morale boost that comes with such a great achievement, and there is so much that could be learned from the trip.

Okay, crazy and (improbable?) scenario -- imagine China were to announce, right now, a solid, well designed plan to send a manned flight to Mars by, say, 2020. Would this spark another space race like the 1960s? A small part of me kind of hopes so...
