India Test-Fires Cryogenic Rocket Engine
alphakappa writes "Wired News reports that India has successfully testfired a cryogenic rocket engine that can be used to 'launch high-altitude satellites, send a man to the moon -- or build intercontinental ballistic missiles'. The rocket which typically has to fire for 12 minutes during flight was fired for 17 minutes during ground testing. So are we gonna see competition in the moon race? Remember, India has already spoken about sending a mission to the moon and it has joined the Galileo consortium along with China."
I wish there was a way for me, as a Christian, as a human being, to sit down with some of you and have a pleasant, civil discussion without bitterness or sarcasm. I don't force people to believe what I believe. I don't mock others with different beliefs. I hope I can find the words to explain myself, as my life goes on. I hope I can help people to see.
Cryogenic rocket? Meaning cold instead of hot?
The first thing i thought of was the engine, but in front of the craft rather than behind it. It would then supercool the in front and around the rocket, creating a near-vacuum and thus the craft is pulled forward.
Think of the ease this would do for guidance systems! One gyro, no need for fins...
a lot of it is automatic, as the planet/population intends to protect itself/survive the georgewellian fuddite corepirate nazi life0cide.

Bias in the media, never. Liberal propaganda has begun in full force, it's target women. Relying on the shortened memories and repetition. Welding fear as if it was their own.

It is common, but despicable, that governments largely ignore huge difficult problems and solve exciting ones. Here are some examples:
U.S. government: We need to bomb Iraq because Saddam is being violent. Let's not consider the problem that the U.S. government is, more and more, for sale; that's a tough problem.
Chinese government: Let's go to the moon. We will mostly ignore the fact that 80% of our population has too little education, freedom, and money.
Indian government: Cryogenic rockets! Let's not think about how to further dismantle the caste system that destroys individual initiative.
Let no modern american forget that India was formed under the guidance of three great humanist philosophers (Ghandi, Nehru and Patel) by a revolution against its former owner, and now our main ally, the imperial British Royal Family and its extended government. It might also be remembered that Ghandi in particular was a student of the late "American System of Political Economy" as first established by the "Founding Fathers," in particular Alexander Hamilton-assassinated, and as further developed by Abraham Lincoln-assassinated.
... strangers! No way! cries our beneficient the Queen, (to whom Sir George Bush, Sr., during his investiture as a knight of the British Empire, that dark and secret realm into which the herd of strangers shall have no right to peer, gave his blood oath to protect and defend). War! Encircle India. Show her the beauty of our bombs! Cut her off from her neighbors by seizing control of Afghanistan and Pakistan. Then cut off its relationships with Iran, whose ongoing process of socializing scientific progress, incidentally, must also be stopped. War! and more War! India build a Ghandi telescope on the dark side of the Moon and putting Hubble to shame ... no way buddy. Our bombs are more beautiful than that. We'll show 'em. The principle, of "those other people," of the wretched, that teeming herd of strangers, sharing in progress and in higher development of the human mind, the economic method of grandfathers wanting a better life
Thus, while modern "america" has turned away from the principles of its founding fathers, who called for the building of a republic based on the specific economic principle of mass socialization of scientific progress (which presumes sovereignty as to the powers to emit currency and to organize the creation of general welfare including building infrastructure upon which that national goal depends), thus, while modern "america" cannot feed its formerly precious constitution into the shredder fast enough, in the name of currency fraud and homeland security, while its schools brainwash our youth with fraudulent economic lies of "free trade," (an economic policy which, for those few americans who might rememeber the days back when reading opened up a realm of ideas, Hamilton specifically identified as the chief cause of the American Revolution, in the opening paragraphs of his revolutionary "Report on Manufactures,") India is now beginning to shine as the carrier of the torch of actual economic freedom, and as inheritor of the living American Dream, that of building a republic based on the economic principles of sovereignty and general welfare, through socialization of scientific progress.
Thus, as the dream dies in modern america, the U.S., now functioning as a financial colony of the British Royal Family, and our president, as an "all-beautied-up" lap-dancer upon the effusive money-stick of British Royal Family (from whom the amerian population, and now the iraqi population, borrow their own "sovereign" currencies, through the fraudulent orifices of the Federal Reserves's "Open Market" committee, a British store front, within an empty shell which is "owned" by member banks in proportion to their ability to again undermine "the Continental Dollar" with the British system of fraud, executed through the lap-dancing treasoners and other British agents in the US Congress (Republicans and Southern Democrats, mainly) and the fraudulent orifice of their Open Market committee.
But, since we americans are now the beautiful ones, with our glorious $20 million bombs, blowing up to cool smitherines the $20 clay school houses of Afghanistan, the world must now recognize, that because India now represents the principles of the American Founding Fathers, better than america itself does. Concurrent with the collapse of america, India must be isolated and destroyed. It is not enough that america hurls itself to "its own" destruction.
Scientific progress shared with those wretched little dark skinned people, those
