We’re sliding into second-rate status on a lot of fronts. But take heart... we’ll talk about it a lot.
Obama has been trying to turn us into a third world country since his first day in office.
He hates America, is Muslim and no more Christian than Ahmadinejhad.
I imagine the space program is really expensive.
The agreement -- between Argentina's space agency and China's agency for the control and tracking of satellites -- also defines more general "parameters for establishing earth-based installations," and creates a basis for future cooperation, the ministry said.
It emphasized the antenna is "a project of tremendous importance," which will permit Argentina "to develop interplanetary exploration activities, to study deep space and celestial bodies, to monitor and control satellites, and to acquire scientific data."........
Belarus [AND China] to help build space facility in Venezuela "Belarus will participate in the construction of the space base in the state of Aragua in Venezuela. The construction of that base is planned not to launch nuclear rockets, but to send into space scientific research satellites," the diplomat said at a press conference.
The space base will be just one of the projects that will be carried out by Venezuela, China and Belarus, Diaz Nuñez said.
"The satellites are being manufactured today in China but the agreement has already been reached for them to be assembled in Venezuela," Diaz Nuñez said.
The three partner countries will also build a power plant in the state of Barinas, a project valued at 900 million dollars.
The project will be financed by China, while Belarus will provide the technology."......
Ukraine, China discuss future cooperation in lunar program.........Cooperation in the exploration of the Moon and Mars are among the promising cooperation areas of the new Ukrainian-Chinese cooperation program on the exploration and use of space for peaceful purposes for 2011-2015, which was signed in September 2010.

The lunar satellite will be developed by Dnipropetrovsk-based Pivdenne Design Bureau and will be equipped with the new Ukrainian Krechet upper stage. The satellite is planned to be launched with the help of the Russian-Ukrainian Dnepr rocket.

This "news report on a press release marketing a report" doesn't say whether they include the PRIVATE SPACE INDUSTRY into the "USA" column or is it -just- NASA. If just NASA, then all conservatives should be happy to see it shifting to private industry.
Does the USA column include USAF Space Command? NSA launches?

Space registry at the end of the 21st century should look like the naval registry at the end of the 20th.
The US Naval presence would technically be dwarfed by Chinese registered cargo vessels on the high seas...but that doesn't mean the Chinese command the sea lanes by a longshot. Or even a Long March! =)
