Great, we sent a sparrow last week to the moon, but apparently it is out of our sat's range (it's really a kite). Our scientists believe the bird might need air to breath, and they forgot to give the sparrow a space suit.usmarine2005 wrote:

anyways, even if the American government claimed the rights to space, they can't really defend it too effectively. Not like they got a laser orbiting around the earth to destroy shuttles and such, unless i'm wrong here and have been under a rock for the past 10 years.

I was in a jet that flew over Argentina, and we hit this sparrow with a Polaroid camera tied to it's feet. Was that your sparrow?sergeriver wrote:

Actually, all liquids would be sucked out of whatever orifices you have, and then you'd be flash frozen in a few seconds, if you're lucky, so you'd you'd look like a pale frozen prune with your eyes imploded, fun.Spearhead wrote:

Thats pretty retarded...
It was you who killed our bird. Now, do you know how much time and money we invested in that sparrow? 2 bucks, yeah, 2 bucks, thanks mate.PspRpg-7 wrote:

Hmm, I coulda thought of something better involving a couple of greased up hookers and a midget with his arm on fire. But I've got a headache.
Tell me about it.stryyker wrote:
that sets back Argentina's Space Program at least 20 years
That must be more than Argentina makes in a decade. How long have you been saving up?sergeriver wrote:

Well, let me see, those 2 bucks were sent here by IMF, coz we don't make that amount of money in a decade. But, don't worry coz we asked an Afghan the money to pay back the IMF.Bubbalo wrote:

lol your not serious right? I doubt the legality of a nuke is really a consideration by lil kim..11sog_raider wrote:
were trying to cover our ass in america by making it illegal for N korea to send nukes up into space territory, then rain down on the US or its allies
I would laugh because space launched nukes are somewhat of a pain in the ass. Current ICBMS do the job just fine. I think what you meant if what if a hostile country tries to establish an orbiting weapons platform. In addition, orbiting objects have relativly fixed positions so i would prefer that to a ground launched icbm. Easier to target. Same reason out sats are so vulnerable. If you hit it with a rock it will probly be disables. lets face it people, we only need to defend our space assets until china starts constructing the death star. THEN we can start worrying. Of course our lasers will hopefully be online by then...stratozyck wrote:
About damn time. We need to claim the moon fast too. I am 100% serious. Anyone that studies history should know that might always makes right. I wish it weren't so, but to paraphrase Clauswitz, "If you blunt your sword, the enemy will not." The idea of space not being owned was probably invented by countries not able to claim it themselves.
Believe me, I wish this was a world where the UN genuinely could work, or that we could all form one human chain and sing kumbaya together. The truth is America is top dog. Everyone wants to knock us off. China is aiming for the moon. Would you really think China wouldn't put weapons in space if we didn't? Remember, this is a country that treats its own like dirt, do you think they would have any moral scrupples about it?
If you love America, and think we are just (we very much are, we are a unique country in that we 'feel bad' about things), then we need to protect our interests from the evil that is out there.
This isn't something that is aimed at Europe, I can tell its mainly aimed at countries like China that are rapidly expanding their space programs. We aren't too worried about an Arab program just yet.
I know some will disagree, but if you do, please answer this one Q first.
What would you do if a hostile power wanted to put a satellite into space that we thought was likely to contain a nuclear warhead? Would you look into your cosmic justice ball and say, "No, they have every right?" Where on earth would that right come from? There was a no weapons in space agreement, but that would have already been broken by this point by the suspected launching. So what do you do?
