Yeah, they're so advanced they have to buy their fighter jets from Russia and can't even put a man in space - and the US did that 40+ years ago!!

I spoke with a NASA engineer a few months ago. NASA is concerned that China will beat the US to Mars. They have an active space program and we don't.

We can't sit on our laurels as we have since 1969 and expect that no country will surpass our acheivments!

China or Russia will beat us to Mars using our tax money and stolen technologies.

If we are to stay free we must keep our edge, and I have been trying to explain, it is being eaten away with the help of traitors in our government, and apathetic citizens.

In the history of the world, well equipped well funded armies win wars. It doesn't matter that much they haven't developed the technology themselves.
