China's Clinton-Aided Lunar Eclipse By INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY

Sen. Clinton made the promise earlier this month, on the 50th anniversary of Sputnik, as part of her plan to reclaim America's lead in science and technology.

Last Wednesday, China launched its first lunar probe, the Chang'e 1 lunar orbiter, named after a mythical Chinese goddess who flew to the moon.

The probe is expected to send back its first photos in November and to conduct exploration of the moon for a year.
