Pretty sad that we retire our shuttles and not have a freaking replacement. WTF are we thinking? I hear it all the time, "debt", but we can give those fuckers who harbored Bin Laden 1.5 Billion???? Really?

This apparently excludes anything related to the International Space station ... in other words its a gesture only.

I guess that's good, considering we're the ones benefiting from the relationship, getting rides from them. Surprised they don't cut those ties

That would make for a particularly embarrassing tit for tat exchange.

I'm pretty sure not supporting our "military complex" would gain us 10s if not 100s of billions.....

 

[John Connor]

And that gain would go to utter shit like funding other countries, shrip on tread mills and all that crap.

Yeah, because otherwise we couldn't get our people home.

how did this thread in off topic have no worth yet the thread in p and n has plenty of good replies

 

[John Connor]

Because the off topic sub forum is full of impenitent trolls.

Becasue ther off topic sub forum is full of impenitent trolls.

What's sad is that you can't even spell because, their, and impotent correctly. Before you decide to judge others for their intelligence you should enroll yourself in a writing 020 class at your local community college.

They might even provide it for free if you're a dumbfuck.

Not to defend that idiot, but impenitent is a real word.

Adjective

impenitent

Not penitent; not repenting of sin; not contrite; of a hard heart.

I usually prefer to let others fight their own battles, but this one was so lulzy, I couldn't resist. ther[sic] is an obvious typo, I'm assuming from a shitastic mobile device, and the rest speaks for itself. When correcting other's work, a quick Duck search can save some embarrassment ;^)

As I posted in the P&N thread the Russian segment can't live with out power from the US segment. Each partner is responsible for providing certain resources.

Both control centers will continue to make sure the crews are safe and trained. We basically already went through this a couple of years ago when the Russians invaded Georgia.

Because he is part of a group of P&Ntards that love to do their rabble rousing in OT. Both Partisan sides are represented in the group. It's too bad they can't come together on politics, but can to try to turn OT into a shithole. Luckily the Hume thread is being a bit more monitored, they had it in shambles for a couple pages.

The word is impenitent. Look it up, word police.

Fucking forums. You miss spell a word or two and they jump on your ass. Cock suckers!

It is but the magic 8ball says that that's not what he was aiming for.

Europe Stays Course on Russian Space Partnerships

Jean-Jacques Dordain, director-general of the 20-nation European Space Agency, said none of his governments — almost all members of NATO — nor anyone from the 28-nation European Union has suggested that Europe shut down any of its multiple space-policy arrangements with Russia...

One European Commission official said the commission has made no moves to constrict its dealings with Russia and dismissed NASA’s announcement — which specifically excluded the international space station from the ban on dealings with Russia — as empty posturing.

Empty posturing?

You sure it wasn't impenetrable?
