Hi Chris -

And here I thought you were completely worthless.

Okay, hotshot -

You got the easy one, because I handed it to you on a platter. Now find the links to "Assassin's Mace" and report on the translation problem. Extra points - Name names of the translators responsible for the goofs, and/or describe the severity of the translation problem.

And while we're here - if you remember, JimO's original post was about the rotten reporting on Chinese manned lunar intentions. Note carefully that I did none of it.

Final problem. Assume that Taiwan doesn't blow it, China able to institute democratic proceeses. Assume you 'efing Mars Nuts screw up Bush Jr's space initiative and forfeit the US leadership role in the implementation of Mazanek's Comet and Asteroid Protection System (CAPS) on the Moon.

Provide an estimate as to when China will lead an international Moon based CAPS effort. Provide background on Chinese Planetary Defense research, and INCLUDE estimates as to national sentiment, funding levels, and launcher development.
