"In China, we don't have software blocking Internet sites. Sometimes we have trouble accessing them. But that's a different problem. I know that some colleagues listen to the BBC in their offices from the Webcast. And I've heard people say that the BBC is not available in China or that it's blocked.

To quote a line from animal farm - "All pigs are created equal, but some pigs are more equal that others".
However.....he also states on his going into space at the end of the article - "I don't think I should," he said. "If they are going to send somebody else up in this age bracket, they should pick somebody else so we get a database that starts to expand beyond me.
"But if NASA said they've been going through the data and they would like me to go up again and run some more research on me and would I be willing to go -- yeah, I'd be down there tomorrow morning."
Today, Glenn divides his time between Ohio and Washington. He heads the John Glenn Institute For Public Service and Public Policy at Ohio State University and serves on a NASA advisory committee." So...as a typical politician...he is well versed at waffling.
Sounds to me like Glenn would like to see the Mars trip in his lifetime (whatever is left of it). I'm sure that if it occurs he would try to pass some legislation to allow examination of long term space flight on the elderly.....and of course he would just happen to mention that he would be the prime candidate for this.

Sounds strangely like something out of a Highlander episode.

I find it disturbing to read the words "Michael Jackson", "touching", and "young boy" in the same sentence. (shudder)
