It's been overcast here for the last 48 hours. I've been hoping to go outside and see it zip overhead and run to my bunker in a moment of panic after I shine my green laser pointer at it.

Nobody's complained about it but is anybody actually interested in these Chinese mission keps I'm posting twice a day? I would imagine that you'll only heat transmissions from the ship whilst it's within range of China although it's satellite might be audible. It was stated ( www.bbc.co.uk/news ) that the satellite would orbit it's mothership to take pictures of it.
