That is simply incredible...We are and will remain at least 20 years ahead of any other nation when it comes to military technology and power...
Now I will wait for the fools to come and claim that the nation of slaves, China, is not only catching us in military technology but ahead of us...LOL...

"Now I will wait for the fools to come and claim that ... China, is not only catching us in military technology but ahead of us...LOL..." Why would they have to catch us when administrations like the Clintons and Obamas give them our technology?

Clinton supporters Loral had an accident in China that resulted in the “loss” of a guidance chip.
Clinton took money from the daughter of a chinese general.
No one cares, dancing with the stars in on and Republicans are racist anyway.
sigh...

Its Aurora! LOL I wouldn't laugh. We know from long experience that our military's development curve is always decades ahead of the state of the art.
Allow yourself to dream 20 years into the future, and that's the hardware they've got right now.

This is terrifically exciting technology. $300M since 2003? Chump change of the DoD budget, especially compared to its potential.

"Oh stop the stupid conspiracy theory... Tell me please how can the President give technologies to a nation without being exposed?" Oh, I don't know... one way might be to transfer oversight of dual-use technology from the State Dept. to the Commerce Dept. like Bill Clinton did in '96, with this result:
According to the GAO, "vulnerabilities in the Dept. of Commerce's deemed export control system could help China and other countries of concern improve their military capabilities.""...in fiscal year 2001 China accounted for over 70% of the 822 export licenses approved by the Commerce Department."
GAO-Commerce Exports Could Help Chinese Military
It probably is just a zany conspiracy theory after all...

Given that we seem intent on destroying ourselves, the PRC won’t need to do anything special to surpass us in the long run.

The Communist Chinese know that JPL is open for business.
They intend to be well paid for fronting the US this ‘loan.’
