[myshoescramp]

pfft they're not forgetting it, they just don't care right now. if everyone thought like you then we'd never advance as a species.

so I say go for it!

What about India's Brahmos 2 missile which will be flying in mach 7 speed

@lennchma History is NOT a salad bar. You can't just take what you like and ignore the rest.

[frank2398]

@lennchma How do you selectively choose to discount the myriad of advancements generated in medical sciences alone directly due to the space sciences program and the "stepping stones" required to achieve it? These stepping stones are steeped in war and strife and suffering, as unfortunate as it may be. Von Braun's V2 rocket of 1940's Nazi Germany is the troubled genesis of many of our modern "luxuries", as hard as that may be to endure....it is simply... true.

@lennchma How do you do that? How do condemn certain technologies and blindly embrace others? How do you reconcile in your life the advancements in pharmaceuticals, material sciences and engineering were created in the cusp of war? You want to believe that you "don't care" that they gave you the computer or the 'net or even the mobile phone while using those media's to decry them.

the Middle of the X-51. Right after the white area. I work @ the Aero Space Machine Shop where we machined & assembled that center. So crazy!

The day we reach the same speed of the alien spacecrafts is to far away. Nobody in this planet can even imagine such technology. I believe that money should be invest for the solution on the poverty.

u can't weaponize space, the aliens wont let you

[lennchma]

@screecwe So why the hell is more and more poverty all over the world?????????

I don't care if they gave me computer, I don't care if they gave me the internet, I don't care for mobile phone.

I just wanna live in peace and without constant fear!

Military sucks, war sucks... and YOU.... YOU SUCK TOO.

[screecwe]

@lennchma Do you have ANY clue how much technology invented for the military has been retooled into civilian applications that make your life better. Know this internet thing you're using to bitch on youtube? Yah....made for war..
