China confirms plans to build own orbital station
rian - Chinese space officials have confirmed plans to build a 60-ton space station by 2020 and develop a space freighter for hauling supplies to the station, the China Daily newspaper said on Tuesday.
The China Manned Space Engineering Office unveiled on Monday a blueprint of the future orbital station, which will comprise an 18.1-meter core module and two 14.4-meter lab modules.
"The 60-ton space station is rather small compared to the International Space Station (419 tons), and Russia's Mir Space Station (137 tons), which served between 1996 and 2001," China Daily quoted Pang Zhihao, a space researcher and deputy editor-in-chief of the Space International magazine.
"But it is the world's third multi-module space station, which usually demands much more complicated technology than a single-module space lab," the researcher said.
China's ambitious space program enjoyed a sound success in the past decade, including putting a human into orbit and launching a lunar probe.
In preparation for the construction of the orbital station, Beijing is planning to launch the space module Tiangong-1 and the Shenzhou 8 spacecraft in the second half of this year on the first unmanned rendezvous and docking mission.
Shenzhou 9 and Shenzhou 10 spacecraft are expected to dock with Tiangong-1 in 2012.

Beatification prompts closer look at John Paul's miracles
Jesse was just 10 days old in November 2009 when he was diagnosed with Herpes simplex, a virus often lethal to a newborn child. Doctors at Children's National Medical Center in Washington, D.C., told his parents that he had no better than a 50% chance of surviving, and at most a 25% chance of living without severe brain damage.
As the Virginia boy waited for a possible liver transplant, his grandfather started praying to the late Pope John Paul II, who died in 2005 and will be beatified by Pope Benedict XVI on Sunday.
Practically at once, Jesse's vital signs began to improve. He went off dialysis a few days later, and was released the following month with a clean bill of health, after what the specialist in charge called a recovery of unprecedented swiftness.
The hospital's medical staff hailed Jesse as the "miracle baby."
Jesse's story comes from a new book, The Miracle of Karol, whose recent publication in Italy was timed to coincide with the beatification of the potential Polish saint born as Karol Wojtyla. Continue reading at usatoday

Series of Abductions?
MUFON CMS - Tennessee - unedited:
Case One
My first memory was of waking up in my grandparents house being abandoned. I walked into my grandparents living room, and I saw that only I was in the room. I walked into the dining room, and saw in the driveway a ten foot flying saucer landed. and then I saw a battalion of brown suite soldiers marching to my door with black rifles. I tried to hide, but then the door opened. Then a black out.
Case Two
I woke up to see that my houses hall was warping, my family computer and mouse was floating. I looked out the window, and a siren went off. I looked out the window, and I saw a flying saucer chased by a fighter jet. And then the flying saucer split into two flying saucers. I woke up with a scratch on my arm.
Case Three
This was when I was thirteen, I was at the beach swimming, and felt a jelly fish in my swimming suit, and pulled it out. It felt like 30 minutes passed, but in fact only 3 minutes passed. I discovered i had a rash between my legs. I then went to bed that night, and found myself pulled out of the window I couldnt normally reach. and then I saw a triangular craft pull me into the air. I woke up the next morning, with my underwear turned inside out, and a black mark that lasts to this day.
Case Four
In this case, I saw 6 grey like being standing in front of my bed. They were about 6 ft tall, and that had no apparent face. The incident lasted 3 minutes.
Case Five
This one was this year, I had a dream were an insectlike creature was crawling all over my walls, and then it turned its head 900 degress, and then starred at me with daggers.
Case Six
In this case, I had a dream were instead of seeing a jet fighter chasing the ufo, it was the ufo chasing the jet fighter. All in all, I'm not so much scared, as I am crepped out, and totally confused.
