US to deny space to enemies

[RoosTa]

Hey, I have an idea. Let's sell space real estate! We'll make millions!

i declare that i own the sea of tranquility on the moon. if you despute this you will have to actually be in the sea of tranquility

Yet when there is a major problem in Sudan or wherever everyone expects the US to intervene. So you can't have it both ways.

US is useful at times, I do agree. But because they help us out here and there, do we have to give them the galaxy? A bit extreme.

USA: "If we save those people, will you give us the universe?"
Rest of the world: "Do you want fries with that?"

I think when Bush's term ends in 825 days they should strap him to a rocket, give him a M16 and send him off to personally protect America's interests in space.

Then in the year 5732 they find a monkey like fossil and wonder why it's so similar to a human

 

[LethalChicken]

So will the US lay claim to the klingons and the Vulcans too ?

You cannot just seize parts of the moon you have to pay for them. I bought my acre a while ago..

Thing is, unlike America, you don't have a couple of thousand nuclear weapons to scare the world with. You may have your @$$ but that'll only kill people in your neighbourhood.

I wasn't saying that, just speaking in general terms.

Lol.

Excuse me? *Who* expects it?

Name me one country where US intervention has improved matters for anyone but the US. They've been stuffing up since 'Nam.

They probably didn't do too badly in Kosovo. But a lot of the intl community does expect it, rightly or wrongly.

I think they are just trying to stop some NK missile from Killing there spy sats,

If I where NK I would have a Mass Wave of hands to show the constant spy sats just how friendly they are

you joking, right? in NK, if you're not from there, you have to have a military person escort you where ever you go.(thats if they let you in the country) Things are so tight there, its scary.

Imagine the day when easy space travel is possible ?! We will have a Universe-Race to see who can claim what planets and different parts of the universe. Big wars will be fought on that one. So when can we expect Space War I ???

Russia: "We claim Pluto !"

Australia: "No way mate, we claimed it first"

Russia: "Fight me for it!"

yes it was a joke, I hear it is bad there no human rights ect.

 

[nocilah]

obviously the americans have yet to discover the borg.

on a serious note america is only as strong as the resources left on earth - if they perfect space minning for oils ect - they will screw the world over

basicly:

all our base are belong to us.

True but Russia have already put nuclear reactors on some of their sats for power generation I think.

Yep but they are not really nuclear reactors like Chernobal but just tiny thermal generators that use the decay effect of radioactive isotopes which releases heat in order to supply the few kilowatts the sats needs to power them over their limited lifespan.

Ok thanks, didn't realise, I'll read the article when I have time. Although I remember seeing a documentary about one burning up over Canada and they needed quite a big cleanup operation afterwards.
