There was a time when our nation had great original ideas and executed them.

That is no longer the case.

Today, all is incrementalism. Small ideas from small minds.

The only ideas are from small minds retreading failed ideas of the past — from Mein Kampf to The Communist Manifesto.

I feel sorrow for the children of our generations, my FRiends.

Without Bubba there would have been no launch.

He gave our missile secrets to China for a $300K contribution from the Loral Corp. CEO, and now they can shoot down satellites with it.

Nov 11, 1996 - Clinton issues executive order 12981 to gut export controls on encryption items and transfer export controls to the Department of Commmerce.

July 15, 2007 - Chinese DF-25 Missile Revealed for the first time (3-warhead MIRV medium range)

Clinton and company gave away the store.

When Senate hearings were held over one hundred Asian operatives or witnesses fled the nation rather than testify.

The Cox Committee report was released in 1999. It confirmed that China had stolen the neutron bomb design and the W-88 miniaturized warhead. The W-88 would allow China to field smaller, mobile missiles and carry multiple warheads on larger missiles. In addition, the Cox report proved that US companies illegally transferred "missile design information and know-how".

The Clinton Legacy just keeps on giving.

Well, it seems to me, with China building their very own space station, it becomes even more imperative that the USA, and not Russia, control access to the “international” space station. I’m also uncomfortable with the notion of Chinese control of the moon and its mineable resources.

What about the Muslims?

Hard to understand how WRAL got this story so messed up. It's a triumph of ballistic technology, sure... but the Chinese aren't planning a manned landing before 2025.

Not trying to understate the situation... not at all, far from it. But the facts are these, HERE.

Do water bubbles come out of the lunar probe too?

They’re going to beat us to Mars.
Hear me?

They’re going to beat us.
Maybe not just to Mars.

[Rebelbase]

"Did someone say probe?"

Thanks Cindy.

Chian is going to end up cornering the Rare Earth Metal market by restricting supply and then setting up lunar mining for Helium-3 and more Rare Earth Metals....

They are going to inherit the solar system if we aren’t careful...
