[quote=Johan O]I just gave the site a very cursory examination, but I thought the www.military.com looked legit. I guess the site could have gotten scammed though.

The official military sites of the US have the .mil extension, I think.[/quote]
I didn’t mean to imply that I believed that the site was an official site for one or more of the armed services, just that it doesn’t appear to be a joke or hoax site.

Treaty? Prevents? Pschaw sir, pschaw! The past several years have shown that treaties are not worth the paper they’re written on as they can be and will be unilaterally ignored when inconvenient.

By US, yeah.

Now that private firms have demonstrated the ability to get near space it’s time to start thinking about defending those assets. Hardly surprising.

Near?

There is a company that uses a huge boat down near South America to loft satellites. I am pretty sure they do it cheaper than the US government too.

Sorry, I was actually referring to manned space flight. The X-Prize.
