Chinese Moon landing this morning
Several news outlets are reporting that China's Moon lander is scheduled to touch down this morning. Time quoted is 21:40 Beijing Time which I think works out to 06:40 MST. One report I found says the landing will be covered live on CCTV. That surprises me being that they are so secretive. But if that does turn out to be the case I see CCTV is on the web at: http://english.cntv.cn/live/p2p/index.shtml It is also on Dish Network channel 279. patrick
CCTV is carrying the event live. Pleasant surprise. The countdown clock is showing the landing will be about 0600 MST. patrick On 14 Dec 2013, at 04:43, Wiggins Patrick <paw@getbeehive.net> wrote:

Speaking of quilts…here’s some art quilts that my wife did earlier this year. The photos were done by Robert Lefkow. Charlotte rendered Robert’s photos into quilts. For a time they were on display at the St. George Art Museum. Now you know who has all the talent in this relationship. http://www.flickr.com/photos/78046474@N06/sets/72157638750071403/ Dave On Dec 16, 2013, at 11:45, Scott Catron <zaui@yahoo.com> wrote:

What’s that line from “A Christmas Story” when the old man gets his major award in the form of a leg lamp? Oh, yeah, “overcome by art”. That’s what it’s like in this house. I have a museum of paintings and quilts in this place. Anyone is welcome to come by and take a look whenever you’re in town.

How many astronauts are going to land?
Several news outlets are reporting that China's Moon lander is scheduled
to touch down this morning. Time quoted is 21:40 Beijing Time which I think works out to 06:40 MST.

Very cool! I had no idea that there was live CCTV on the web. I'm bookmarking it. Thanks, Joe On Saturday, December 14, 2013 10:42 AM, Erik Hansen <erikhansen@thebluezone.net> wrote:
