And, HEY! We were also so obliging in selling 'em all of our "scrap" metal (Recall metal drives of WWII???)!

Don't rely on your GPS for too long.
Now we can catch up with China! Their new Space Plane ROCKS!
Thanks for shopping at Walmart!
I hope they didn’t make it out of the same material they make their cars from..

Pictures tell a thousand words.
Can you say “Space Bomber”?
Our environmentalists will have a HISSY FIT when this starts raining down on our cities!
Not happening. Pictures required. BTW, the USAF Space Command already has several generations of these under its belt.
I think they should actually go to space before they can dominate it.
The Germans have sold them their steel mills. Moved them part by part to China.
We sold them our tool and die equipment.
They even came and bought the old tooling and machinery from the Republic Aviation plant in Columbus Ohio that made many jet aircraft.
They are engaged in a non-stop espionage campaign.
El Presidente Bush? AWOL on this one.
It’s treason.
If the resurgent Latin American Marxists can arrest and try their opponents 25 years later, no matter where they live now, I have some advice for the ENTIRE crop of US Senators and Representatives and the Bush and Clinton families:
When the China/USA war happens and we lose, the only place safe for you and your treasonous families will be in China.
They have been there. Their manned space program seems more robust than ours at the moment.
Not even close.

Shenlong Closeup: This out-take from the December 11 photo shows the Shenlong to be a small rocket powered unmanned space plane, as seen from the black heat shielding. Source: Chinese Internet
New Shenlong View: On December 12, 2007 another Chinese web poster offered this computer generated rendering of the Shenlong with a vertical stabilizer, using a curious “trapeze” suspension from an H-6 bomber. It cannot be confirmed that this will be the final configuration for an H-6 launching of the Shenlong. Source: Chinese Interent
Chinese Space Plane Concepts: Chinese institutes have studied many space plane concepts over the last two decades. Perhaps most interesting was the involvement of the 601 Institute, a jet fighter designer, in a two-stage small space plane concept, with a model seen at the Shenyang Aircraft Co. factory museum (bottom).

Recent CALT Shuttle Concept: This is a possible CALT space shuttle concept that China may develop by 2020. Source: Chinese Internet
China’s “Hermes” Space Plane: A December 16 photo shows a model of the Shenlong and a new model of the Chinese “Hermes” space plane, which is very to a wind tunnel test model the author found at the 1996 Zhuhai Airshow (bottom). Source: Chinese Internet
Thanks for being a union thug!
You first!
I shop at Wal-Mart, mostly for batteries, birdseed and phone cards. None are made in China.
Forgetting about the Chinese DynaSoar X-15 Rutan thing for a minute, is phone cards the way to go to manage the phone utility expense?
For a cell phone that is only used on rare occasions, definitely. Nine cents a minute, no extras.
Thanks. I nearly had to call the car hauler when two tires went flat at the same time due to 40 below. New tires, too. But, I got some air in one and the spare was good, so now I think I should probably get on the cell phone bandwagen in case three tires go down next cold snap.
Kudos to you.
I own their stock.
But 75% of their products are made in China.
Sad.
Not a union member.
Just sad to see our leaders and corporate titans selling our country out.
Better learn Mandarin!
