China Joins EU in Galileo Satellite Venture
CHaN_316 writes "Yahoo has posted a story that says China to Participate in Galileo Satellite Program. 'The agreement provides for cooperation in satellite navigation, technology, industrial manufacturing, market development, frequency and certification'. This is definitely a good boost to the satellite program since it injects fresh cash into the project. There are probably strategic reasons for joining this network since it's an alternative to the American controlled GPS system. Here's more information about Galileo." China is also moving quickly toward getting a man in space.
if this isn't FP i'll kill myself
all the GOOKS, SLOPES, and CHINKS. We all know the
white man rules.
Just try and fuck with us.
BTW, learn how to drive... SLOPES!
Galileo is going to crash into Jupiter :)
Yes, and in america it is the exact opposite. You can treated like total shit if your an athiest.
Joke all you want about "Garireo", it looks like we'll need to speak French and read Chinese to travel to the Mars colony - how's your accent? Too bad we'll be working off our $10T debt by policing the mess down here with our 21C Army of One.

Well if you program for MS, then your code will definitely be used for nefarious purposes.
When you speak of morals, are these your morals or mine, or the guy down the street.
Fsck this moderation. What I said was so true. you guys are just cracker chicken.
Dear Slashdot,
Don't you think it is ironic that I have to scroll through Microsoft adds to read anti-Microsoft rants on your comments page. Ah capitalism.

I have to ask, why do you think China (of all places) is better than the USA?
That aside, I for one, don't want to be in bed with countries that have radically different beliefs.
if you look at a similar situation in a democracy between 2 political parties with opposing views, they have to work together on somethings to have government function smoothly. Its all about forming alliances for a specific goal and not being worried about the rest. Yes, I eat rice and you eat bread and pasta - but we both can sit together and get a project off the ground. You dont question what I eat and why I eat it and I wont question you either. It all boils down to that. Also hate begets hate. Its truely unprofessional for a scientist/techie to refuse cooperating with someone for a peaceful goal for apparent personal convictions.
U.S. citizens should realize that saying the US has a right to do whatever it wants is not compatible with saying other nations have no right to distrust the US - or to do things in their self-interest.
The U.S. citizens *do* realize it's the same thing. Remember, the U.S. is the starting point of democracy, and recognizes the view points of people differ and allows them to freely express those view points.
But another thing is, we don't CARE what other people think of us... which is another reason why *some* foreigners, particularly in Europe, do not like us even more. if we cow-towwed to their crap, we'd be the weak little brother of the great European Socialism and not visa versa (which it has been since WWII).
My point, however, is that it is human nation to distrust... and human nature to not be trustworthy. So to think that anyone is always going to trust everything is just foolish.
The US is pathetic. Using hexadecimal all the way through, a much better missle could be created by a smaller team. Decimal is dragging everything down.
