    I missed this Thursday story from the BBC, "China's spacecraft 
    orbit 'slips'":
    
    http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/4340102.stm
    
    Normally I wouldn't have sent it after the later one from 
    Yahoo/Reuters, but I love the following statement from it:
     
    "Shenzhou VI, which has two astronauts on board, is in a low 
    enough orbit to be affected by the Earth's gravitational pull."
