U.S. answer to Chinese launch? Cooperation***For NASA's space shuttle and space station, the Chinese launch could not come at a better time. The appearance of Chinese astronauts will increase public interest in American astronauts. More important, an additional space partner will provide more financial and technical support for the troubled space station. The Bush administration, restricted financially by the growing budget deficits it has created, will correctly argue that cooperating with China is less expensive than competing with it.***

I know that reply above is from the article at the link - because that could not have come from you. (I read the article.) The professor that wrote that liberal BS is so typical of the left wing academics that it is sickening. This loser would open all of the US's secrets to the ChiComs in an instant. No doubt a Clintonoid.

Two things.

We probably gave them the technology in the Clinton years that put the fellow into orbit.

Secondly, there won't be a lot of debate in China about their version of our Space Based Defense Initiative.

Good morning, CW. I am always delighted with your wide range of interests in the articles that you post.

Washington's declaration that it intends to maintain overwhelming space superiority above all other nations (and perhaps militarize space in the process) does not sit well with the Chinese.

Did I miss something here? When was this declaration? Militarize space? I wonder if the person who wrote this worked in the Clinton administration.
