  who can tell me the orbital path of the Chinese launch vehicle if they know the time (9 a.m. gobi local) and inclination (52 degrees). Regardless of the fact that CNN is carrying this several minutes old news three stories down, this is _amazing_. I want to go outside and watch them cross overhead just as people watched Sputnik so many years ago. If only I knew when to look! We only have a few hours' window! I've called upon the bloggeratti to help, but who knows who is checking mail at this hour. damn damn damn.
