Dear Photoshop Wennie -

As far as estimating Chinese popular opinion goes, what you can do is read the Chinese popular press - that's where those numbers come from

As far as China's awareness of CAPS goes, one can read the Chinese technical literature on laser research.

As far as deluded Mars nuts such as yourself having much to do with deciding the future of US civilian space programs, that is going to end shortly -

By the way, when you write to Alex Blackwell, remind him that the time when he could run that watery Mars scam from Hawaii has ended - that money has just stopped - Mars Express has just put an end to it

Cao knee men! (I think I have that right) and Aloha!

Two more weeks to go...
