"Some of you might ask what the "space shuttle" is "shuttling." Large ingots of special metals that are milled in space and cannot be produced on the surface of the earth."
Let's be very clear on one thing. There is not a snowball's chance in Hades that the space shuttle is "shuttling" large ingots of unobtainium. Watch NASA TV during the next shuttle mission and tell me otherwise.
Why does something about the inmates running the asylum come to mind?
The funny thing is that in Stargate SG1, they can keep the gate program top secret, yet in real life we can’t even keep top secret war plans secret....
Now if we have stations on the moon and mars, why wouldn't the craft which are capable of reaching those stations be capable of resupplying the secret orbiting stations?
I didn't hear the part about the milling of secret metals. So with that information, another question that I would ask would be: "Wouldn't the secret orbiting stations be the ones who are actually milling the secret metals?"
Anyway, it seems that the hosts aren't paying attention to these guests, or at least, they don't want to ask some hard questions.
