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."
