It’s not that we will lose, we have lost. It’s a done deal. When you have a populace that is focused on imaginary problems, and a political class all too happy to feed those delusions, the result is a given.

As crowded as low Earth orbit has become I wonder why Earth low orbit is considered for more satellites

Our future artificially intelligent pleasure bot overlords won’t make this mistake, if they get here in time, and aren’t made by China.

I’m not impressed with this “Space Force Vice Chief of Operations Gen. David Thompson”.

He claims that “China is building its own version of satellite-based global positioning systems”.

China started building BeiDou in 2000. They had a regionally operational system by 2012. They finished the final launches for the full system in 2020. The system is on its third generation of satellites. David Thompson sounds a little behind the times.

One person I knew a long time ago said it best, “Asia will kick our asses someday, for the way we are going is stupid”, and he was right.

I do disagree, we have not lost yet, the fight is not over, but if we do not change course, we will lose.

Set up to fail.
We need diversity in viewpoints and skill sets.
Enforced diversity by irrelevant skin color, ethnicity, gender (2 or more?), sexual orientation or religion will buy us nothing in terms of engineering or military strength.

“I do disagree, we have not lost yet, the fight is not over, but if we do not change course, we will lose.”

Every day there are more conservatives passing away. Given the number of indoctrinated idiots, combined with the massive number of imported voters, (illegals), I would say the fight is over because there won’t be a fight.

We will simply, gleefully submit.

We will never be able to reconcile this, as one side is completely unwilling to behave.

If we were smart we would exclude Chinese nationals from our space program. If we were smart.

There are only three things you need to understand about America in 2021, and everything becomes clear:

1. Everything in America is corrupt. Everything.
2. Nothing in America works properly or efficiently.
3. All information in America is propaganda. Nothing is real.

Why the Third World wants to come here is a mystery…any rational person is running as fast as they can to get away before it blows. Maybe they feel right at home in complete corruption.

I think that space is the ultimate “High Ground”, and China’s goal is to take it while we piddle around…….
Militarily, we need more out of our Space Force.

“Diversity” is gonna get some astronauts killed.

The “experts” will never see it coming.
