By that time, I'll need Christmas stamps again, so I'll be depending
on them. :-)

And, everyone should buy some aerospace stock.

excerpt:
- ------------------------------

'You've got the Chinese saying they're interested - we don't want
them to beat us to the moon.

'We want to be there to develop the sweet spots,' Republican Senator
Sam Brownback said on Thursday.

A close adviser to Nasa administrator Sean O'Keefe who asked not to
be identified was quoted by USA Today as saying the Chinese launch
earlier this year and their interest in a manned lunar mission had
'changed the equation' for the US space agency.

Some analysts say a Chinese-American space rivalry may prove healthy
and lead to other benefits such as new drug products, but CNN said
other White House hawks saw Beijing's space programme more as a
warning.

They say China could use a space base to test new rockets or other
technology that may prove threatening to the United States at some
later date.
