Isn't it cheaper to just offshore these launches to the Chinese? I mean isn't it better for the economy if we find a cheaper foreign source? (Bush economics 101)

Oh, you blame the President for the actions of private companies?? You think he has anything to do with where Wal-Mart manufactures their coffee mugs?

Hello China. Will you launch our Top Secret spy satellite for us?
To: BulletBobCo
"Hello China. Will you launch our Top Secret spy satellite for us?" You're confused. That was the klinton era.
To: Rockitz
Nice work! We still own space, among all other areas.

You're confused. That was the klinton era. Oh, you're right. He'd also let them launch our warheads as well.

But is the D.S.P. satellite, placed in orbit by the I.U.S going to W.O.R.K.?
