Putin not crazy about Muslims in space.

Probably, not crazy about fags either, and, that has to be high on OdumBO's list.

Give a contract to the Chicoms!

They know how to de-engineer a machine, and make knock-off dups, in a tenth of the time that it would take us to turn the first wrench!

Maybe we could call on Bubba Clintoon to grease some palms!

Nonsense.

Putin has put two Muslim astronauts into space, Talgat Musabayev and Salizhan Sharipov.

NASA has become a joke.

The best space program we have now is the Kerbal Space Program.

I think Sierra Nevada's Dream Chaser is pretty cool. Target launch date: 2017

Yep. Competition for lower costs, better safety, and in-flight movies!

Meanwhile we let China overtake nations and put all our eggs in that nutty basket case.

The world is shrinking in terms of allies and reliable partners. America is becoming a banana republic. Hillaries, Jellens and Barshevsky type whores is not going to help the cause of the independent man.

I wonder why they couldn’t develop a huge para-sail, an inflatable wing, that would let them slowly glide it in at a reasonable speed.

What is even more troubling is that the Republicans have the power to stop this but they won’t.
