American Physical Society: SPACE RACE: SHENZHOU-5 VERSUS MERCURY-5. (supports China and Xlinton space giveaway)

1. SPACE RACE: SHENZHOU-5 VERSUS MERCURY-5.

On Wednesday, China successfully launched the Shenzhou-5 space capsule into orbit with taikonaut Yang Liwei on
board and returned him safely to Earth after 14 orbits. The first American to reach orbit, John G lenn, circled Earth a
mere three times in the Mercury-5 capsule - 3 years before Yang was born. And this is only the beginning; China
hopes eventually to construct a permanent base on the moon. Americans should welcome China's new direction.
Sending humans into space offers no military, economic, or scientific advantage; rather it's a symbolic demonstration
that China has arrived as an economic power and can now afford to waste vast sums of money. Perhaps the U.S.
could help by offering China complete plans for the space shuttle. This would serve the cause of world peace by
diverting China's resources from more dangerous adventures.

There's just something about this articles writer's analysis that irks me.
They say this: "Americans should welcome China's new direction. Sending humans into space offers no military, economic, or scientific advantage"

Right now we're kinda crippled space wise due to Columbia's breakup, and NASA being a bloated inefficient bureaucracy now.
And the analysts seem to be extremely happy about Chian reaching space.
A few have even suggested we help them.
(Not that Clinton's treason didn't do enough of that?!)
Meanwhile, while NASA sits idle and chases down loony ideas and wastes mpney, China plays catchup and may even pass us.
Their goal, as someone else pointed out, is to get a toehold in space.
Gain the highground, and then from there deny us use of space.
Sun Tzu was from there, and he is studied by their military.
It's almost as if NASA wants to get their butts handed to them and be surpassed by China.
I can't put the thought in words that make sense to others at this time.

GOD Speed... JOHN GLENN,

Communist China's real...

1st Man in Space.

[ALOHA RONNIE]

...The planned Soviet Manned Lunar Lander was precisely the same thing as the new Communist Chinese Model, one man-one capsule.
In other words, Tinker-Toy Land.

...Our Apollo Program got 2 of us on the Moon first so the Soviets cancelled their 1 Man Mission.

Democracy - 1, Communism - 0

The Chinese appear to be executing a minimalist approach to space exploration. If their goal is a lunar base, they will take only those steps necessary to achieving that goal. Clearly with their limited throw weight, their modules will be small. The capability to perform Earth orbit rendezvous is key. That is likely to be their next step and why they will take a year to prepare for it.

[glock rocks]

Alan Shepherd?

[Fitzcarraldo]

I think Ronnie is referring to Glenn's stint as a Democratic US Senator and subsequent flight on the shuttle.

[glock rocks]

Ah, okay. got confused.

[ALOHA RONNIE]

...Seems it wasn't Former American Astronaut ALAN SHEPPARD who went on to personally stonewall the Senate's THOMPSON Investigating Committee looking into the CLINTONS' China-Gate giveaway of our Satellite/Missile/NUKE Technologies to Communist China for China Army Money.

...No Siree, t'was Former American Astronaut / U.S. Senator JOHN GLENN who blocked everything Committee Chairman FRED THOMPSON
was trying to do for our Country's Protection.

Soooo, it's...

GOD Speed...JOHN GLENN,
Communist China's real 1st Man in Space..!!!

Fitting, isn't it, to see today that Communist China's real 2nd Man in Space...

...was on a Spy Mission..?

FITS the Mold.

[Brett66]

Bump to everything in your post. :)

[ALOHA RONNIE]

...After he personally obstructed Senator THOMPSON's Chinagate Invstigating Committee to death...

...Senator JOHN GLENN, now Communist China's real 1st Man in Space, announced he would not be running for a re-election just months away. We all wondered why? Not for long, though.

...About one week later the CLINTON-Appointed NASA Chief gleefully announced to the nation on TV Senator JOHN GLENN's new Shuttle "Mission" into Space to .."Investigate" how well Senior Citizens his age do in Space.

...How does this man ever get any sleep at night..?

...I really wonder.
...Don't you..?

[JoeSchem]

There's no excuse for what Clinton did, but I hope that something good can come out of his missile giveaway. This is a tremendous achievement for the Chinese people and I wish them the best in exploring space. Maybe it'll spur some space exploration competitive juices here in America, finally!

[ALOHA RONNIE]

NEVER FORGET

...The THOMPSON Chinagate Senate Committee was also investigating the CLINTONS' Push to turn over our U.S. Long Beach Navy Base to the Communist Chinese, a Navy Base crucial in supporting our U.S. Navy's Mission to protect Taiwan from an Invasion by sea.

...Yesterday's Manned Mission also was so related. China's Manned Capsule had a Lazer on board to test the feasiblility of Blinding from Space OUR Space Satellites ...during an invasion of Taiwan.

...And they're still doing it on OUR Technology Dime..!!!

HOW DOES JOHN GLENN ever get a wink of sleep at Night..???

[ALOHA RONNIE]

CLINTONS =

"Incomings" Marked: Made in USA

[onyx]

John Glenn is a disgrace even for a democrat.

[virgil]

Unless our space program radically changes direction, the 21st century will be the century of China.

It's no surprise since they will get all of our money by selling us cheaply made junk at high prices. And us? We just fall deeper into debt.

Wasn't this the person who invented cold fusion? Since universities became political indoctrination centers, the science went backwards. I see now some physicists are busy praising how the Chinese discovered the wheel. Who is writing their serious articles? Is it Chinese graduate students? No wonder we lack new energy sources and a robust space program.

Sending humans into space offers no military, economic, or scientific advantage

I have a hard time taking anyone seriously who starts from an idiotic premise like that. Actually, human space flight offers all of the stated advantages, though admittedly not in the very near term.

[dirtydanusa]

In an unrelated story, Wal*mart is looking at opening a manufacturing plant on the moon. They figure, if the workers who make 90% of their products are there, they'll need something to do.

[RoughDobermann]

Don't we still have sub-launched nuclear missiles?

Yes. Trident II/D-5.

[Fitzcarraldo]

I always wondered why the railroad or shell game land missile basing system was seriously considered in the light of our submarine capability.
