Well the saga continues, just as I expected it to, with the Chinese trying to score maximum points at the expense of the Americans. The US need a bargaining chip badly, maybe the space shuttle could "find" a Chinese spy or com. satellite inside US space - space, and bring it back for a trade. You know, it's the old big-stick theory. You got big stick, I got bigger stick. Anyway, I want the movie rights, this thing is going to be bigger than Ben Hur. Get Nicholas Cage to play the pilot - nah, he's not dumb enough, maybe Robert Downey Jnr. And we've got to get a bimbo into the crew somehow. Who wants to write the song, maybe something to the tune of Up, Up & Away. I'm a cynic - right!JG / F.M.E.
