...wants to buy. "If you sell us high-technology products, we will pay you royalties," he said, but warned that if we refuse to sell such products to China, it will buy them elsewhere or build them itself. "The Chinese are very smart. On our own, we developed the hydrogen and atom bombs. If you refuse to sell us satellites and other new high-tech products, we may be able to develop them by ourselves. And then we won't have to purchase yours...
...mileage of an ordinary auto. General Motors recently finished its first good electric car, the EV1, although it requires frequent recharging due to its limited range. DaimlerChrysler, taking advantage of research of both its German and American branches, leads the way in developing fuel cell engines--engines which use hydrogen gas as fuel and could produce little more than water as waste. These projects, although showing far more promise than ever before, remain on the fringe of the notoriously conservative auto industry because of the low demand that coincides with low gas prices...

...Cape this morning, closed highways later on(the fact that the President drove in didn't help the situation any). And you could forgive space shuttle Discovery's army of technicians some jitters as they pumped in more than 500,000 gallons of liquid hydrogen and oxygen fuel. As the agency freely admits, there was a flip side to all this positive publicity. If there's a bug in the system, the whole world is watching...
