US 'Space Warplane' Spying On Chinese Spacelab

[Pigeon]

The U.S. Air Force's second mysterious mini-space shuttle, the X-37B, could be spying on China's space laboratory and the first piece of its space station, Tiangong-1. Amateur space trackers told the British Interplanetary Society publication Spaceflight that the black-funded spaceplane seemed to be orbiting the Earth in tandem with Tiangong-1, or the Heavenly Palace, leading the magazine to speculate that its unknown mission is to spy on [the lab]. ... The lab is unmanned for the moment, so all there'd be to study is the technology of the craft and what experiments it's doing. Still, the U.S. is hugely suspicious of China's space endeavors, so it's more than possible that they'd want to get a look at Tiangong-1 just in case it's doing anything unexpected.

Spying is a bit more expensive then it used to be.

I guess they don't believe the Chicom story that they are testing the manufacturing of noodles in a gravity free environment.

[Pigeon]

Probably not.

The Chinese space agency has ordered Space age technology from the Patria Aviation Solutions. thats all i know, it was in the news here so, It seems we finnish are helping the chinese with their program, since NASA has no more space program, i all so know that we help Russian and European space agencies, and we all so have a Space Program. not many knows about this. SO what if americans are spying? they envy the chinese thats all. they are afraid that the chinks will do the same thing as yanks, shoot up sattelites with Nukes in em

So far, China is the only one to have blown up a satellite.

It's a small group, those who have sent a space craft pass earth orbit, some where like te moon or mars. Even I have a space program; on the 4TH of July I launch a few rockets into the air.

The little space plane should serve as a warning that the US will not tolerate any challenge to her space supremacy. The little guy's current mission is to attach a rocket to the bumper of the Chinese sedan and launch it directly into the sun. The mission is called, aptly, "Operation Fried Noodles."

[Pigeon]

Wonder if the billions spent for 'Fried Noodles' will prove success. The 'Fried Rice' mission was a billion delivery failure.

Sing like this, 'La La La', not 'Rah Rah Rah'.

Fuckit. The Chinese jalopy is history.

i gotta say i love how you laugh away the chinese efforts At least they are doing something and not creatin unemployment

I'll have you know Watchdog, now that we rely on the Bangladeshi Space Network, the US is the true dominatrix of outer space.
