Dukhat said that it was still on the drawing board, but apparently the Japanese are WAY further along than that! They just finished their second limited flight test! Kick ass. Here's a website.

Go Japan!!! Any country that is capable of showing up the USA, is okay in my book!
-------------------- Me- Hi Jen! What's up! Jen- You again??!?! Listen kid, I'm not interested in you. Stop bothering me, I'm a lot older than you and I have a boyfriend. How did you find my ICQ number anyways? Me- Oh, so just cuz you're a movie star now, and you're new album made millions, you think you're too good for me? Jen- Yes!!! Get it thorough your head! I am a person, I am not Jennifer Lopez the hottest woman on earth that everyone wants to sleep with, I'm a person, leave me alone!!! Me- Fine! Be that way! Me- Jen.... Where'd you go.... I love you... please come back.... please....

Exactly my thought. You know when a company has little/no competition that company can do whatever it wants to its customers and there is not a damn thing they can do about it. I think it's the same case with countries.......

Cool! I live here in J-Land, but this wasn't covered in any of the crappy English-languages papers that I read. Thanks!

Cool, if you got a remote control for it you could play "Lander"!

Hmm. I was totally unaware of this development in Japanese aerospace. All I knew was that the Japanese had a reuseable space plane in development on the drawing board, but that it never got off the ground, so to speak. Of course, I had heard the same thing about the Chinese, but no real reliable information was forthcoming with that other than the Shen Zhou space capsule project.
