The 'First Contact' there engendered great enthusiasm for more exploration and discovery. Several of the most advanced technology-rich nations followed with manned flights to worlds in the solar system where life might exist.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBoth the Chinese and the joint US\/UK missions found life on Titan. Or it found them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMeanwhile on Earth, the world's top two superpowers, US and China, were close to an armed confrontation relating to claims made on the Republic of China, formerly known as Taiwan.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCaptain Ray Haskins of the joint US\/UK mission to the Saturn moon, Titan, was the father-in-law of the captain of the other Titan mission, one from China.
