Chinese "STARWARS"?
Now that the Chinese government has successfully launched and retrieved orbiting astronaut, the word on some news programs has begun discussing:
a) That it was the Clinton administration who somehow allowed China to have american technological plans and information which made this rocket launch possible. b) That China is now a player, with Russia and America, in potentially likely outer space warfare, of the shooting or ICBM air-to-ground/air-to-air variety. >Any truth in either or both of these contentions? >Is it something to be concerned about for future american war/defense plans & strategies? >Is there likely to be an extra-terrestrial theatre of operations or battlefield other than the long established intel birds flying around up there? >Does this or not have any effect on NASA budgets and missions? |

I have no doubt this will raise security concerns for our country in the furture. It is interesting to note that while Clinton may have given/sold missile technology to China their space capsule itself was built on the original Russian capsule designs. The Chinese capsule is slightly bigger and has significant technological upgrades but nonetheless it is of basically Russian design. This is a fact the Chinese have downplayed in their media for obvious reasons but it is comforting to know

One wonders why the Ivan connection has not been AS mentioned as the American... but now that you menton it, the fact that the Chinese capsule was designed to come down on LAND suggests that design connection again! The portends for outer space warfare are intellectually interesting, almost as if there is too much ground being occupied by land/sea-based contests here on earth, and so a new limitless fresh theatre is under consideration? Or, could it mean deployment of killer satellites by the three (thusfar) sides. Sue would be one way to restrict the NUMBER of combatants! Hmmmmmm... |

Clinton OK'd the sale of hardened computer chips to the Chinese allowing them to send high tech computers into space.

I could not recall what, exactly, happened on that deal... I knew something did and that there was a lot of outrage expressed at the time it happened, for the precise reason we are now witnessing. One wonders the exact extent of the "sharing" that went on, what (if anything) was accepted in return, and what is to come as it may affect warfare in the far east... not solely in or with China. |

From what I read, Clinton got money, money and money.
For his campaign, for his campaign and for his presidential library.
