But Mars? That's real Space Travel.
I just hope I live long enough to see someone from Earth step foot on Mars.

Hey Pooka,
I saw it as well in 69, a few seconds before you!!
Dont worry too much about China, they are good copiers.
They probably have a group of 16 year olds built like their Olympic swimmer that could get to the moon by peddle power !! Dont know what they are on but it must be good !
