But US-China relations have warmed since 9/11 (or at

as unthinkable.


Relations could hardly have gotten worse: they forced down one of our
reconnaisance aircraft flying over international waters only a few
months before 9/11.

Screw the freakin' Chinese.

And until there is specific funding for a CEV thing, shuttle will continue to
fly and will probably be extended to 2015.


My bet is on 2012.

Shuttle will not stop flying before there is a replacement vehicle that is
fully funded and under contruction.


Yes, it will.
