speculation that the drone was actually caught some time before the claim came out based on wear and tear (not from me). Seeing as Iran has done so successfully before I will withhold judgement. The Scaneagle is made from 'off the shelf' components, so its not as valuable a capture as the...

Nice to see that congress still has the appetite to stick by its 'guns', this is the right move. :tup:

Can't really tell if its fake from the news alone, this was apparently an experience told by Clinton herself, whose word you will have to choose to believe or disregard. Given her position in the administration I err on the side of caution and take her at her word.

Im telling you guys the news is false :lol: Well you guys will believe what you want to believe.

was that guy doing gangnam in the last pic? :lol:

isn't the national enquirer a bs magazine? You know, the one that prints onion like news? Ah yes, it is the very same one National Enquirer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia This tabloid is not very well respected at all, and I have seen hilarious headlines on it when i've seen it in...

Ah ok misunderstood you. True we have the highest budget of any program at date. I wouldn't say China is 50 years behind us on spaceflight, it isn't so simple, they also have 50 years of other countries trial and errors to look back on and improve. They have today's technology rather than the...

NASA's budget is less than half a penny on the government's dollar.

The only insecure ones are fanboys with add, and those who have a profit motive behind that insecurity. NASA is not insecure, the US govt is not insecure (i'd be surprised if more than a few of them cared), and the Commercial Space industry is looking forward to the future. The US without a...

Nice video!

Its on the same level as those retired Chinese generals talking about nuking the west coast, pay no mind. The only possible correct interpretation for it being a 'staged' first landing would be that it isn't really the first.

My other posts have made clear my position on this issue, and Götterdämmerung has not substantiated anything he has accused me of. I rest my case and am satisfied.

Why so? Taking another country's thoughts into account doesn't just mean to pull them to your side, but to make sure you don't push them over their red lines. Then tensions aren't so high are they? That is fine for us. Your last line is exactly why both sides have to be mindful of the other...

This is gonna be interesting... waiting avidly for followup news.

I agree its a stupid choice for the US as well, it doesn't solve the short term problems the writer says it would. China's space agency is accountable to its own government, just like NASA is accountable to America. I was speaking with regards to oversight to prove that both sides are holding...

Point out where I was racist. The rest is just trash rhetoric from a bitter guy.

As mentioned above, taking our thoughts into account doesn't mean being subserviant. Neither the Soviet Union nor the US were subserviant to the other, but they sure as hell took the other's thoughts into account. This is even more important for China to do as its capabilities advance. We have...

In which case China should care about what the countries of the West say. This doesn't mean bend the knee or whatever, but China must take the West's reaction as a consideration instead of simply disregarding its reactions, just like the US does with China. Think about how many times we could...

It is an example of why China should care at its basest level you numnut

Don't worry, these people don't speak for the administration, and the administration is definitely against a partnership with no accountability. There is no reason we should partner with a country that doesn't respect our IP and would shackle us with their own onerous restrictions and...
