Oops, Beijing we have a problem.

Oops... Beijing, we have a problem...

File this one under "Major Fail".

The Chinese Central Television's telecast of the launch of the Tiangong-1 space station was impeccably done except for one small flaw. The launch was backed up with the stirring music of... wait for it... America The Beautiful. Hmmm I think I know where the producers of this show will be spending their next vacations...

The link is for the article on the The Guardians web site  and it includes a video clip of the blunder...

I wish this was our real national anthem - much better than the Star-Spangled Banner.
