“The fact that China had realized the great jump from one-person, one-day space flight to multi-person, multi-day space missions within two years has marked a new landmark victory in China's manned space technology.”

Done, EL and thanks.

That's one small step for Newbs, one giant leap for Newbskind.

Never been able to get it to work...server too busy!

Worked for me. May be I should join that pilot-test program, pass it and go off to the Asteroid belt myself

Ahh, would it work if anyone interested PMed me their name or username? I got on no worries, took all of 2 seconds, and my internet link ain't that crash hot.

[Lotus Eater]

Mine too - it was fun!

Finally got it to work. I think I irritated them to the point where they put up a note mentioning that you can't use apostrophes in the name you submit.

Anyway, the name "Raouls China Expat Saloon" is now headed for the stars...
