I wonder if we will see any reports on TV or will our financial melt
down take up all the sound bites?

Nice to see real hardware being launched instead of a bunch of paper
promises that are built on a house of cards.

The banks will be bailed out, the financial institutions will be
healed and only the little guy will be crushed.
Oh, sorry, was supposed to be talking about space ships being lofted.
Just having trouble getting a bad taste out of my mouth.

Hope you get to see something positive aloft.
Space walks would be nice.
Pictures of Earth from a different point of view.

Should prove there is a blue marble down there with a bit of mud
flowing into the oceans.


Thanks for looking up with me.

China counts down to Thursday space launch

By Royston Chan Reuters - Wednesday, September 24 11:11 am

JIUQUAN, China (Reuters) - China will send its third manned mission
into space on Thursday evening on a mission which will include its
first space walk, the government said on Wednesday.

The Shenzhou VII will lift off from the Jiuquan space centre in a
remote desert area of the north-western province of Gansu between 9:07
p.m. (2:07 p.m. British time) and 10:27 p.m. (3:27 p.m. British time),
mission spokesman Wang Zhaoyao told a news conference.

Fuelling of the rocket has already begun, meaning the launch is
"irreversible," the official Xinhua news agency said.
