So when China successfully test fired and destroyed a satellite they obeyed the non-militarization of space?

So, the creation of yet another massive, multi$$bil military bureaucracy to (join the other five already in existence) is the appropriate response to the Chinese testing a satellite killer out on their predictible "mechanical mouse" target in orbit?

The USAF has had the Space file for sixty years now and they are good at it. The "Space Force" bullshit is a publicity stunt. It will never fly, Orville.

It will never fly Orville.

Do you know who Orville is? Does Orville Wright ring a bell?

Dumbass doesn't even know what the phrase means.

They destroyed their own satellite. The militarization applies to permanent structures, like orbital nuclear devices. Interestingly, spy satellites are not considered militarization.

Perhaps they'll let you out on monday?

Trump may just have been briefed on area 51........non?


The ball is now in your court Danbones :wink:

I always figured "area 51" is a somewhat cliffiesque, figmental distraction from what is really going on.

On the other hand, the debt production which the current debt based monitary system depends on can carry on unabated now like it did with the space race, but unlike the similar old time weapons races, and cold, and social justice wars, MIGHT produce some good on the side.

So one now knows where to look for good investment opportunities. Same same with oil a while ago and look what happened.
