Wouldn't that be a trip? I'd have to get NBC to cover the cost.


Hopefully the Chinese will not take the Russian approach (limited broadcast
and media) to the Shenzhou-5 launch.

I watched Glenn's launch on TV at school, and my classroom had
a cardboard mockup of the Mercury capsule - courtesy of McDonnell
(located 100 miles south in St. Louis).

Then I attended John Glenn's 1998 Discovery flight at the Cape.

It looks liek the launch will be about 4 weeks before the Centennial of the
Wright Broathers flight.

Jim -

Have you received your invitation to cover this historic launch in China
from the Chinese yet?
