Maurice,
I hope it works. But from my point of view, it's putting the cart before the horse when it comes to China's technology. 8O :S

Jeff,
Thankyou for sharing and taking care of the old girl-Telecope. I have one of these babies, it not an APO but it has it's place in the hobbie. And anybody who would mistreat one of these, should be horse whiped... >sad

Hmmm....for conduct unbecoming an astronaut?

Posted By Bill Madewell

Lee,
I think it is very sad, and show the Human condition in a bad light. But if you look up the history of the Mercury 7 thru the Apollo era, that a great deal of our beloved hero's marrages went down the drain after their 15 minutes of fame. Sounds like a good study too anyone in mental health.
I think Star Trek had it right, too bring along the familys...
Those Mars missions will get pretty ong and lonely.
