If China continues it's saber rattling with Taiwan will we need to call BABYMETAL to the rescue once more?
With the current US ambassador to China retiring and no immediate successor in place... what will be the ramifications of this in the short term?
Thanks for the shout out, Chris.
Thanks for the support!
Another knock-off. Where would they be with out us?
Is Chris married to Shelly?
Doesn't the space / the moon already belong to china https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wan_Hu since ancient times.
Yes, it has been part of China since ancient times according to some maps
No body really knows what the X37B does. A spy platform must be one of them. As for weapon delivery no these space planes are not weapon platforms. ICBM's and cruise missiles are so accurate using a space plane would be a waste.
True... unless you don't want an ICBM launch signature that could inadvertently alarm 3rd party states, nor tip your hand by deploying a cruise missile launch platform anywhere near a potential battlespace. Kinetic bombardment from orbit, such that 3rd party airspace or enemy air defenses needn't be crossed by weapons or aircraft in the atmosphere, could side-step strategic challenges in a major near-peer conflict. All that notwithstanding, the X37 is more likely a shuttle platform for a number of missions that DOD doesn't want complicated by NASA management.
Interesting. I didn't know about the US unmanned X 37 B. I learn something every time I watch! Thanks!! This New Chinese Space Plane could be used to drop weapons too, right?
