China to test space weapon in launching moon satellite: rights group+

HONG KONG, Oct. 23 (AP) - (Kyodo)—A Chinese submarine will send test signals that could change the course of a satellite when China launches its first moon orbiter, as part of the country's effort to develop space war technology, a human rights watchdog said Tuesday.

The Information Center for Human Rights and Democracy said two survey ships are deployed in the South Pacific Ocean and South Atlantic Ocean to send signals to maneuver the lunar exploration satellite, expected to be launched Wednesday. At the same time, a nuclear-powered submarine will send simulated signals to the satellite as a test, it said in a statement.

Once the satellite-maneuvering technology matures, the group said, China would have the know-how to destroy other satellites in space in wartime. China could launch cheaply-made weapon-carrying objects into space and change their courses to destroy or damage satellites of other countries by sending signals from submarines, the center said.

China shocked the world in January by firing a missile at an old weather satellite without notifying anyone in advance, showing off its anti-satellite weaponry and its ability to shoot down satellites without being immediately noticed.

Hong Kong's media reported that a rocket that will carry the satellite was being fueled up, banners of greetings on the successful launch were prepared and farmers living near the Xichang Satellite Launch Center, in mid-western China's Sichuan Province, will be evicted one hour ahead of the launch.

This is not good. Even though China is far behind us in space technology, it should be of concern that they are making so many moves in so many areas to counter us militarily.

China sends its’ thanks and money rewards to the Clinton Socialist Party.

Meanwhile, our moronic democrat party refuses to allow us to develop any such thing.

It seems like this is essentially the same as our land based space tracking and communication system we have around the world except 1. they are on ships so the Chinese don't have to put it on land where it could be infiltrated or destroyed and 2. they are testing out using a submarine so they could pop it up anywhere in the ocean making it much harder for us to know where it is and when the Chinese are planning to do something.

We should be concerned about it, but this is hardly something to hyperventilate about.

Also, I welcome the Chinese trying to land on the moon. Maybe we can get into a space race again and spend money on advancing science rather than on insuring 25 year old "kids" whose parents make $80,000 per year.

“There is NO way the Chinese can get a hold of our missile and satellite technology when launching our space satellites from inside China. I GUARANTEE IT”

...Lying Statement made to the American People on NBC’s ‘Meet the Press’ by SANDY BERGER, sitting National Security Advisor to the President of the United States ...after already having served as Communist China’s head lobbyist in Washington, D.C.

.

SANDY BERGER was appointed in 1993 by President BILL CLINTON who, along with his wife HILLARY, suppoorted Communist terrorist North Vietnam’s push to take over a then Free South Vietnam during the Vietnam War. Horridly bringing down upon a once Free South Vietnamese People:

What price is left for the still Free to pay now, that’s us BTW,

...in a new time of war
...in a new century
...with our own Freedom
...directly at stake
...right here at home..?

China’s Long March to the Moon

We are giving them the technology to make the rope,
the money to make the rope, and our necks to put the rope around.

[Pagey]

Our Gov’t/NAVY uses the HAARP, so it wasn’t too long before the Chinese acquired that knowledge too.

Damn straight!

My biggest concern is our reliance on GPS to guide weapons, planes , etc.
If they take out a few GPS satellites then what?
