X-37B
automated spaceship returns to Earth after 8 month first flight
Since this is a test run of the shuttle, it is not really known exactly
what it is supposed to do. According to my Source, some have feared
that the X-37B could be used for the “weaponisation of space”, but that
doesn’t seem to be on the agenda.
Three
Russian Satellites Crash Into Pacific Ocean
A recent mission to send three satellites into space as part of
Russia's Glonass project, a navigation network that is supposed to
rival GPS, failed after a programming error reportedly caused the
booster rocket carrying the satellites to go off course.

A missing piece of the puzzle.
ReplyDeleteMaybe a puzzle for China's new BFF Russia.
ReplyDelete1987 was the year I lost my ability to believe there were not weapons in space. Sitting on a power unit with a Phantom pilot after a satellite recon presentation at Eglin AFB we were discussing a near admission of the existence of killer satellites. He knew quite a bit about them and painted quite a picture based on what the AF had just showed us. Then he went on to say "Thats nothing, there is a whole wing of black fighters out in the desert...." A few months later the government admitted to the F-117. Was this guy correct on both? Since then, I have met several retired engineers that worked on MRV's in the 60's and 70's. And the point here is, this is the whole point of the Chinese space program. To DE-weaponize space. -Anymouse
