Stan writes in 2003 to Hans Frauenfelder, a colleague from the old Mössbauer days, to try to interest him in working together on an experiment to test Stan's idea of a Vacuum Drag Force, which he thinks may explain the so-called Pioneer Anomaly. Frauenfelder's reply is not available.

Originally published in Chinese in 1996. Stan Ruby was interviewed and is cited as a source. Wu's involvement in the Rustad-Ruby affair is documented.
