...four days it takes to increase speed by 60 m.p.h., we'll use only 2 lbs. of propellant. If we keep thrusting, however, we can achieve extremely high speed." Indeed they can. By the time Dawn completes its four-year journey to the neighborhood of Vesta, a trip made longer by the slow acceleration, it will have sped up by 24,500 m.p.h. (39,400 km/h) and will be tearing along as fast as any interplanetary ship has ever propelled itself...
...that Vesta is made of denser stuff, material that when it breaks away can remain intact through the long journey to Earth. "Ceres is not very thick," says Russell, "and whenever there's an impact, it knocks off ice and a lot of dust that doesn't survive the trip." That ice makes Ceres intriguing in its own way.

When Kissinger lands elsewhere, he has to worry he'll be summoned to testify about knowledge of war crimes - several years back he cut short a trip to France rather than answer a court summons; he had the Brazilian government revoke an invitation because it couldn't guarantee his immunity; and saw a suit filed against him at home, in a Washington, D.C. federal court). During the event at Nanjing University, Jixinge worked the enthusiastic crowd, grasping outstretched...
