  1. Re:Open the pod bay doors HAL! on Hiccup In Space: Orbital Sciences ISS Docking Delayed By Days · · Score: 0

    A lot of people have missed the significance of private industry entering space missions. For now. Columbus wanted a short cut for spice trades. Yet those Spanish speaking folks you refer to, after bank rolling Columbus, decided to make a little history themselves. And brought home plenty. Of Gold. They made a lot of history,,,,but got tired and were relegated to obscurity. Gone are the days of showmanship, competing for fanfare, first to orbit, first to the moon. Time to make more history. No, low earth orbit won't get us anywhere. We are immensely more sophisticated then the Spaniards. We will need to be, to take advantage.

    The USA will end up owning the solar system. 100 years from now. One small hiccup is nothing. Future generations of Americans, not future generations of Portuguese or Chinese, Indian, Russian etc, etc, speaking peoples owning the nearby space. To quote Robert Heinlein..."It's raining soup in space, and we don't even know about soup bowls."

    To say America, has a rape culture, or a patriarchy is just an insult to the people in countries that DO have a rape culture or a patriarchy. I wonder how the people being raped and mutilated daily would feel about cat calling, I think they’d prefer it to what they get now.

  12. New Cold War... on China Criticizes US For Making Weapon Plans Steal-able, Alleges Attacks From US · · Score: 1

    The US Gov allowed this to happen. How else will the US GOV fleece the tax payers for billions more for weapons development? This is a healthy ongoing event for the United States. When a country quits making history, they tend to die out. I just hope there is a few trojans in the plans the Chinese acquired. Anyone remember the Russian Trans Siberian pipeline explosion? There just might be a "chink" in the Great Wall of China.....courtesy of the CIA.
