Why am I not surprised. Remember how they talked to their taikonauts in space, while their shuttle was neatly parked at the launch site. U can't expect anything better, can you.

A nice little story hit the Web Thursday talking up China's long-awaited space mission and even including detailed dialogue between the astronauts, according to the Associated Press. Only problem was that the spacecraft hadn't even left the ground at the time the story came out.
The story was published by Xinhua, China's official news agency, in an apparent moment of clairvoyance. It was taken down after being up on Xinhua.com most of the day, the AP said.
A staffer at the agency later told the AP that the article, which had been dated September 27, was a "technical error."
