Another Thing the U.S.A. Can't Be Faded On
Trauma-san:
Our Space Program. China this week is trying to duplicate shit we did 40 YEARS AGO. America has grown so fucking huge, in our Arrogance, we left the planet God gave us and stepped foot on the moon. Unbelievable, that's got to be the single biggest achievement of all time (In my opinion). Man's ambition drove him to accomplish the impossible. It's really amazing if you think about it, there's no way that should have been possible.

Mars here we come!

As a matter of fact Russians were faring FAR better than the Americans in terms of Space Program.. but the Stalin Regime didn't fund the Russian Space Programs properly and The US (funded by the far-sighted Kennedy) overtook them and BTW Russia = USSR back then.. if u care to know and THAT made a hell lot of difference...
Also seyin that Chinese have copied American Program is pure bullshit.. China has enuff brians and manpower(obviosly larger than ANY damn country) and is fully capable to do things on it's own..
Woodrow:
Hey, The moron store just called and said that they're running out of you
If Russia's sapce program was advanced, but how come they didn't get a man on the moon? Hunh? Hunh?!
You have NO clue what you are talking about regarding Chinese copying technology.
Where do you think the Chinese got their rocket technology from?
Read the Cox report and check it out.

It's clear that for the Chinese capsule, they copied nearly everything on it from the Russian Designed Soyuz capsule, which many say was taken from General Electric Apollo program.

In 1994 Jiang Zemin and Boris Yeltsin preliminarily agreed on Russian-Chinese cooperation in space exploration. In March 1995 they signed a agreement on tranfer of Russian technologies, as well as sale of rocket components, space suits and key systems of Soyuz to China. The agreement included training of several Chinese cosmonauts. In 1996-1997 two Chinese aviators underwent a 14-month course in Russian Training Center. Chinese experts thoroughly studied the process of the training. In March 2000 China striked a new accord with Russia, which included production of parts of future "Chinese" space station, more training of the Chinese cosmonauts as well as the earth-bound personnel.
What it comes down to is this:
China's launched a man in orbit 42 years after the Soviets put the first man in space. A single man in a capsule. Using Russian technology.
Still it's pretty cool, but you're just a troll.
Don Seer:
well actually the russian space program is more advanced in -=some=- areas because being commies they wanted value for money.. which is why their rockets are currently the only safe way to get to the space station since the shuttles are grounded.. or exploded :/
i dont care who goes to space, as longs we can get there, get better tech from it.. and expand our knowledge.. and hopefuly put colonies out there so if disaster does nuke earth.. maybe somewhere else will be survivors :)
