No worries. Once Hillary gets in office, Loral will get an exemption of some sort and teach them how to hit our shores, and she’ll likely get some good cash out of it for her legacy library.

I wonder what the criteria is for a rocket to operate in space. Maybe those little manouvering thrusters that point out sideways?

the United States, France and Russia are negotiating a third round of U.N. sanctions against Iran for failing to heed demands that it suspend sensitive technology such as uranium enrichment A Strongly Worded Letter is in the offing, just you wait and see.

If I were president I wouldn’t let it reach orbit no matter what purpose it is alleged to be for.

The technology required to put an object in orbit is the same technology required to land a weapon
ANYWHERE ON EARTH.
And Bill Clinton sold this technology to the ChiComs.

Never has a man said so little and said it so good.
I believe that’s what I heard about Obama’s speeches.

It was a medium range missile with the range to hit Europe and it failed after launch. It can not reach space. It will be just a few years until they start testing the real thing.

It may not work in space, but it will deliver a “peaceful” nuke to Paris or Moscow.
