China and Russia Challenging Space Leadership of the United States

In yet another case of the United States Intelligence community?s failure to recognize the world around them has been revealed due to recent developments in space.

One day we may wake up and realize that with little warning China has launched a precursor un-crewed earth orbital rendezvous EOR lunar circumnavigation mission. To be promptly followed by a manned lunar circumnavigation. After that a lunar orbital mission is quite possible, because once the LM-5 booster becomes operational after 2010, the Shenzhou spacecraft has an already built in design for earth orbit and can also orbit the moon. It could with proper equipment also support a manned lunar landing mission either through EOR or through the introduction of a new booster beyond the capability of the LM-5 which they have only in the last few days hinted at as required after the next Five Year Plan.

THIS is why the Chief thinks the current NASA plan for a return to the moon by 2018, while moving in the right direction, could well prove to be too little, too late to maintain our leadership, and ceding the "high ground" could ultimately prove to be fatal.

Video Game Movie Leads the Weekend

Is this really important? Probably not, but it caught the Chief's eye as an old Doom I, II, and III player. It's a sad commentary on the silver screen when an FPS "first-person shooter" video game is the best that Hollywood can find to make a movie from.

Frankly, I'm surprised that it led the pack, but then again, no one can go far wrong talking down the quality of stuff (for the most part) being churned out by tinsel town. The other notable movie of late that attracted the Chief's attention was the libertarian Sci-fi flick "SERENITY", spun off from the sadly pre-maturely killed TV series "Firefly".
