A Chinese-born engineer in the United States has been found guilty of passing space shuttle technology secrets to China, for more than 30 years.
Dongfan "Greg" Chung, 73, is the first person to be found guilty under a federal law, introduced in 1996, to counter economic espionage.
Mr Chung worked for Rockwell International, and then Boeing, until the FBI investigation began in 2006.
I wonder why the Chinese are not using the technology in their own space program? Or is it the technology we find all around us because of the US space program?
