   Okay. You can all relax, now. It is going to be some time before the   
   Chinese get to the next level where they have cataloged and mapped out   
   enough for them to be able to exit the high earth orbit safely and   
   head on out for a trip around the moon.   
      
   Boy this business of mapping out the solar system and beyond is really   
   going to be labor intensive. Maybe they should start thinking about   
   collaborating with the Yanks, and others on this one.   
      
   They're going to eventually need some pretty advanced systems to   
   assist them.   
      
   It sure would be handy if some of these others in our galaxy would   
   give us a helping hand.   
      
   By the way, you may say I'm dreaming, but it ain't so. I've seen two   
   interplanetary vehicles in my life, and the last one, in 2005, was so   
   awesome. No one can tell me they don't exist.
