#3 a5089, not everyone remembers to take into account issues accruing from differences between the Julian and Gregorian calendars, not to mention the Hebrew and Mayan systems and the occasional lost counts during the various Chinese interregna. Under the circumstances, getting calculations to agree within the same half century is pretty impressive. ;-)

#5 The only bone we throw China's way should be a cruise missile wrench into the gears at Kargh Island when Iran finishes begging for an @ss-whupping.

If compatible space docking mechanisms include sharing ultra-high vacuum seal technology, there is no way this should be handed off to the communists. China in space is a military nightmare.
