Great launch! But I'm a little worried about the amount of junk seemingly being deposited into low orbit along the way.


Low orbit space jumk decays fast enough not to be a problem, it is the stuff in geo and higher orbits are the real problem.

I have to give you credit for consistency, QM, your ignorance and apparent racism extend even to the boundaries of space.

You mean I'm not permitted to hate on a country whose tyrannical government promotes censorship, trial-free imprisonment, forced abortions, invasion of Tibet and harvesting prisoners' organs?

It's likely the Chy-knees rockets were built with tech stolen (or given) to them during the criminal Clinton years.

Only liberals hate Bush and waterboarding more than the evil empires.

So, basically you hate the people that are subjegated to all those things ?

QM's stance notwithstanding, I think I caught a glimpse of what it must have been like in the 60's when NASA was doing all this for the first time. It's one thing for governments to accomplish this feat, quite another for private companies.

Soo... What about the invasion of America? I mean honestly, lets look back at history, Native Americans got a raw deal, they just don't complain enough about it. You want to talk about trial-free imprisonment, is that anything like slavery or trial free interment camps? Censorship... Like firing librarians for not removing certain books from their shelves? I'm not trying to say that I agree with Chinese politics, I think there is a lot going wrong in that country, but I have faith that the Chinese people will be able to liberate themselves from it in the coming years. I just find it amusing that racists like you, like to hide behind some sense of patriotism. And don't get me wrong, I enjoy a good off color joke as much as the next person, which was why I was looking past your first comment about rice-o-nauts, but comments like this one, are just plain ignorant.

I actually don't think QM is a troll. There's more than one way on thinking in the world and the statements the Shroom makes often have a logic to them. This way of thinking if fairly widespread in my experience, you just don't see it on internet forums much. Maybe because most that share this worldview don't know how to use computers.
