[FPSPACE] Shenzhou 7 etc

[Rex Hall]

Good Evening
Remember the Olympics in 2008. Is it not usual for all space nations to have
their astronauts give a message to the games from orbit. Why would China
miss this opportunity? Look for the docking in 2008 rather than 2009. 

Perhaps they can only build one craft a year and a saving a couple for 2008.

I think this is a certainty. The political message to the third world would
be clear. The Olympics is about politics.

This would mean that Shenzhou 7 and 8 would have to be launched in a short
time between flights ?  It seems the chinese are moving slow with one flight
every 2 years this would mean shenzhou 8 and 9 would be launched in 2009?
would we then begin to see a speed up of operations? a sucsesful docking
would open the door to a space station or perhaps a flight around the moon ?
by that time the latest Russian / Space adventures proposal could have
happend.
