China and Russia to Launch Joint Mars Mission
The Interfacer writes "China and Russia are planning a joint mission to Mars that will bring back samples to earth and land on one of the red planet's tiny moons, state media quoted a Chinese scientist as saying Wednesday." From the article: "Russia will launch the spacecraft, while China will provide the survey equipment to carry out the unmanned exploration, Ye Peijian, a senior scientist at the Chinese Academy of Space Technology, told a meeting in Beijing, according to the official Xinhua news agency."

WWJD?

I'm sure the Brits who were targeted by V2s would disagree.
Nasa confirmed the aquisition of Pixar 3D animation studios to fake another landing. ;)
"We hope to launch HDTV as a global mass media comunication tool as we did with the TV back in the 60's but we are going to need some serious rendering power to fill all these pixels and make it right. Oh, and don't miss the trailer (spoiler warning!) coming to theaters near you!" - the spokeman said.
I, for one, welcome our new communist martian overlords.
