French Threat To ID Secret US Satellites
SkiifGeek brings to our attention a story that ran on space.com a few months back but didn't get much wider notice at the time. "The French have identified numerous objects in orbit that do not appear in the ephemeris data reported by the US Space Surveillance Network. Now, the US claims that if it doesn't appear in the ephemeris data, then it doesn't exist. The French insist that at least some of the objects they have found boast solar arrays. Therefore it seems that the French have found secret US satellites. While they don't plan to release the information publicly, they do intend to use it as leverage to get the US to suppress reporting of sensitive French satellites in their published ephemeris."
Not the French, with such a mighty army, I'm scared!
The US should just declare war on France, and they will surreder. Problem solved.
> Jesus Christ - no wonder people hate Americans. Thanks for that, people - I'm embarrassed to say where I'm from these days. Bunch of jingoist jerks. Actually you're the kind of American people hate. The gung-ho type we don't mind, they are consistent and wear their beliefs on their sleeve. They are honest and straightforward. It's this new, smug, "I'm ashamed of my country" kind of American that I cannot stand (I am Australian). Your country dominates the world (just as italy, england, greece, persia, france etc etc etc all did in their day) and you are ashamed? I'd hate to know how you'd feel if you were French and actually had to live with the knowledge that not only did your country surrender to Germany without a fight, they also aided and assisted the round-up of their own Jewish population. How would you feel then? BTW, if your country was invaded, you would be cowering behind those "jingoist jerks", you hypocrite.
Pick your solution:
A) Learn to speak (and write) English better than just stringing together a bunch of words that form utter nonsense.
B) Stop posting on English language websites.
