Why do I not move on welll here is why ... 1. I own the security based on a verification to a simple question I made myself which was the basis for me buying in. 2. I have the right to post and I paid my money so I could express myself as per my freedom of speech right. 3. for two years Pom Pom have controlled this stock and the new 10sb proves that to be exactly the case because nothing the Pom POms have stated has come true nor even close. 4. If I get attacked that is an invitation to come back and respond. 5. This thread is like high scholl if you are not part of the cheerleading team then you are scum and how many cherleading team did you ever see that were not superifcal pompomous A*****s. SO I entertain myself here by staying on topic and a voice of reality ... :-) Gary

Hey CH, It's so damn tough tryin' to get CSCA up off the floor to save his credibility, that the Bard has to come over here to bluster nowdays. A pathetic effort to gain some less suspicious attention and achieve a little comic relief...... Nice to see you back, by the way..... Been doin' some J'ville brats on the BarB, while taking a little time off from the engineering game. The cheddar cheese ones are righteous, my Man.... Hope you're happily counting your gains..!! Somewhere over 0.50, I'm going to sell a block and meander over to the Navigator store for a test drive and some arm wrestling..!! :-) And, when you can drag yourself away from the GBay broadcasts, "..s'plain.." somethin' to me will ya..!?! How does someone get to be an insider by buying stock on the open market. Must be a GA-thang, I h'aint h'oid nor read nowhar's yet.....?!? Regards, John :-) OBTW; This ignore thing they finally included on SI works just as good as the subroutine on RB..... Ps: Don't get "..froze solid.." during a Pack Attack ol' Bud....

"....from the jus' so's ya know Department....": Nov. 21 China's launch of an unmanned space capsule brings the country a major step closer to putting humans into orbit as early as next year, U.S. intelligence officials and space policy experts say. Ending months of speculation, the Chinese put an experimental spacecraft into orbit for 21 hours and brought it back to Earth early Sunday, the Xinhua News Agency announced. NBC's Kiko Itasaka reports on China's feat. FORTY YEARS after the start of the first space race, putting a human into orbit still ranks as the ultimate badge of technological prowess and national prestige. Currently, there are only two members of the club: the United States and Russia. Some experts had expected Beijing to join them in dramatic fashion on Oct. 1, the 50th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, but progress has come more slowly than expected. Despite the secrecy surrounding China's space effort, reports about technical difficulties leaked out over the past few months, including rumors of a propellant explosion at the country's new Jiuquan launch complex in the Gobi Desert. Thus, Saturday's successful test marks a particularly important milestone, experts said. 14 ORBITS The dome-shaped Shenzhou spacecraft, modeled after the Russian Soyuz capsule, was launched from Jiuquan atop China's new Long March 2F rocket, Xinhua said. The craft reportedly orbited Earth 14 times and touched down safely in the Chinese province of Inner Mongolia after several orbits. Word of the long-awaited launch came only after the flight was completed. State television showed only simulated pictures of the module descending by parachute, with four retro rockets bursting into flames shortly before landing. On the streets of Beijing, the news was greeted with ride. “Shenzhou” literally means “heavenly ship,” but the characters that make up the name also sound the same as a name for China. “Fifty years ago Chairman Mao Zedong declared that ‘the Chinese people have stood up,'” Zhao Ren, a 63-year-old retired official, told the Reuters news service. “Now the Chinese people have flown up into space.” “I don't know much about what spacecraft do, but anything that thrusts us forward to the likes of the United States and Russia in technology is wonderful,” said a taxi driver waiting outside a hotel in the capital. China has been sending astronaut trainees to Russia for the past four years, and U.S. intelligence officials told MSNBC that the first human flight could come late next year. One official cautioned, however, that any failure along the way “of course could move it back.” Xinhua said there would be further unmanned tests in advance of human orbital flight — which was in line with experts' expectations. “They would be very foolish not to run several flight tests before they launch it manned,” said Charles Vick, senior research analyst at the space defense policy office of the Washington-based Federation of American Scientists. LONG-RANGE PLAN In the long run, the Chinese space program could have an impact far beyond public relations. The Chinese “have never done anything purely for propaganda's sake,” said Phillip Clark, a British expert on human space programs. “Their programs have had remote sensing, photo reconnaissance, meteorology, communications and military operations as priorities, not propaganda,” he said. Research analyst Vick said “the manned space program does represent potentially what looks like the development of a human-based photo reconnaissance program.” Successes in space would also show over the long run that the Chinese “are able to compete (technologically) and be a part of international programs for their own purposes.” Such a view was supported by a recent Pentagon report, acknowledging that international prestige was a factor behind China's space program but also noting that “manned space efforts could contribute to improved military space programs in the 2010-2020 time frame.” Diagrams and artist's conceptions related to Project 921 indicate that the Chinese are considering the full complement of space vehicles — including a space station based on Russian designs. As early as 2001 or 2002, the nation is likely to put into orbit a small lab that future crews can visit, Clark said. And some predict that the Chinese could try to put a human on the moon by the year 2010. “Early in the next century, the Chinese expect to have a ‘space plane' and a lunar lander. A trip to Mars is also being considered,” said William C. Triplett, co-author of “Year of the Rat,” a book on Chinese attempts to obtain Western military technology. “All of that has military significance,” he said. China's space signals More signs that Beijing is serious about space: Chinese-Russian cooperation: The Chinese have bought rocket engines as well as Soyuz space components from Moscow. Two Chinese visitors have gone through astronaut training in Russia.

Many of the spacecraft have been spy satellites. The latest model weighs nearly 3 tons and can stay in orbit for 15 days. • Biological research: The Chinese launched dogs and mice on suborbital flights in the mid-1960s. In 1990, it sent up a "biosat" carrying 60 plants and animals - and recovered them safely.
