I does look a bit short, timewise, though it depends on what they all ready have built, and more important how much money they are prepared to throw at the missions. Graeme |

Interesting news article at: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/low/sci/tech/3874419.stm - Mike Interesting indeed. Just think, if the USSR had supplied The West with high quality, massed produced goods instead of the Lada, Skoda, Yugo and Zenith. They would still be a world power and would now be out-spending the US on space research. They must be kicking themselves now at not releasing the Trabant to eager Western customers. One wonders whether the USA will try to compete with the Chinese as they did with the USSR on manned space research. Will US national pride re-ignite the Moon and Mars landings programmes? Or will Bollywood now be brought in to (better) fake another US Moon landings sharade full of scientific loopholes in a secret Indian Area 57 hangar? Or will America (and Hollywood) have to do it for real this time to avoid having Moon Dust kicked in its face? Will Bruce Willis triumph in the end? Watch this space? ;-) Chris.B |

I reckon they are aiming to have a spectacular space mission of some sort to co-incide with (or lead up to) the Beijing Olympics in August 2008 and the total solar eclipse that crosses China on the 1 August that year. - Mike |
