> Unnaturally skittish and secretive for a project that is over budget, long-delayed, and rife with issues.
?
Skittish + Secretive has nothing to do with over budget, delayed, and issue ridden. All government contractors are like that, and probably for good reason. I was contracted out to Raytheon and Mitre decades ago, and they're wall-to-wall uptight about who is where. Their default stance is to keep things carefully under wraps....it's how they're trained, and it makes sense given the kinds of things they work on.

Reply to So from what I understand Sagittarius a is in the Center of Milky Way. If any planets orbit this black hole would there be time dilation? by EarthInteresting9781
Just for future reference, the supermassive black hole at the centre of the galaxy is Sagittarius A*, pronounced āSagittarius A starā. Sagittarius A, without the star, refers to the radio source in its entirety including Sgr A West and Sgr A East.

Damn you're right. They might fly once, twice in that window. It's mostly public funding of aerospace jobs, not much actual outcome expected

So the Stayliner has the same problems that Boeing faced with its 787ā¦. Back in 2010!
Does that company ever learn?

The possibilities are endless. As for what I know about Sagittarius A. Yes it most likely has a black hole at its center. However, it is a dwarf galaxy. That is being assimilated. By the out bar of the Milky Way. From which our planet resides. Or is it Sagittarius D? I get them confused. However, that's the case. Does the black hole of Sagittarius being assimilated," Become. Runaway attractor ? Or will it be drawn to the Milky Ways Center?

Wow. I am stunned. Who saw this coming? I mean it was going so well. There goes Boeing's 100% on-time delivery record. I guess nobody's perfect. (and yes /s)

>The US rocket program was Kickstarted by kidnapped nazi scientists.
The US rocket program was kick started by Robbert Goodard, Goddard's widow successfully sued for patent infringement. Not something the thieves at the CCP will ever admit too.
>The fascists were more imaginative than your so called democracy
This another lie. The west focussed on code breaking, radar and proximity fuses, weapons that had a massive impact on the war, the Nazis focussed on things like huge liquid powered rockets that had no impact.
The Chinese liquid fuelled rocket program was started on "stolen" Nazi technology. Being a very backward country they had to have it gifted to them from the Soviets.
>The first of the Dongfeng missiles, the DF-1 (SS-2, initially codenamed '1059', while the 'DF-1' designation was initially assigned to the project which later became DF-3[1]), was a licensed copy of the Soviet R-2 (SS-2 Sibling) short-range ballistic missile (SRBM),[2] based on the German V-2 rocket. The DF-1 had a single RD-101 rocket engine, and used alcohol for fuel with liquid oxygen (LOX) as an oxidizer. The missile had maximum range of 550 km and a 500 kg payload. Limited numbers of DF-1 were produced in the 1960s, and have since been retired.[1]

So China started with stolen German technology that was stolen from the US in the beginning.
> the communists even sent the first satellite and man into space. You overrate democracy and migration too much.
Soviet Union does not exist any more. Seems a fate that has happened to almost all Communist countries. Just a couple left going.

ISS is slated to be scrapped in 2030. So we only have 7 years before Starliner can fulfill its purpose.

It also means Starliner will be launching after the scheduled Vulcan launch. ULA is going to be doing two high profile launches within a couple months of each other.

Reply to comment by TheCriticalAmerican in US tech rules bar UAE moon rover from Chinaās Changāe 7 mission by weinsteinjin
Dude, your the one who created a Reddit account and spend every second spewing pro CCP propaganda, with a username that tries to make you look like an American so people will think you are an American talking BAD about the US. I come on here and discuss a ton of things. Sometimes Iām critical of my government (which you canāt be in China), and I also give my government credit for the many things they deserve.
As for collapsing empires. 1) we donāt have an empire, we have a country. Itās pretty telling that you still look at things on terms of āempiresā, because your country wants so much to be one, which is disgusting. 2) your country has hundreds of billions of dollars that have evaporated when you overextended the construction sector, then the economy slowed and demand for new construction dried up. Your biggest(maybe second biggest) sector is hemorrhaging money with literal zero return, as large swaths of buildings lay half finished, unoccupied and worthless.
The funny thing is that I spend a decent amount of time in China, and have also travelled there for leisure (learned mandarin in HS and college), and the wonderful people I have met there are almost all down to earth and realistic about their shitty government. Itās only online that I find you totally brainwashed nutters. I mean, think about it- you spend hours a day shilling for Winnie the Pooh. Whatās that say about your life?

I'm 35 and have an interview for a NASA internship next week. There are people who are older than me who have done the same thing. A mentor of mine is doing it now at 47. It's never too late. Although I do suggest you do it sooner rather than later.
