Can the Chinese get anything
Can the Chinese get anything out of the sattelite that Bill Clinton didn't sell them for campaign contributions?
What would the Chinese want with obsolete space junk?
really.
Havent heard much on the subject from Ron Paul
with the exception of criticizing wasteful spending overall and lack of oversight- but where exactly DOES he place government in regard to NASA and a space program. Personally I am leery of the weaponisation of space- and with the exception of giggly lil pictures of rocks that look like a 1967 pic of Bigfoot- i really dont see the justification for allocating huge sums of tax payer money. Id LOVE to see space explored- but just to satisfy my own selfish curiosity. Does Ron Paul feel like that whole area is best left to private organisations or that there is some govt responsibility to pay for some of the aspects of a space program?
They'll Shoot It Down....don't worry about getting hit
Their biggest fear is the Chinese getting their hands on it.
I saw sky lab on it's last orbit.....I was in Los Angeles...
Our tax dollars pay for this crap you know.
