Have these jokers never heard of a clean room?
Clean rooms only matter if you care about not infecting other planets with earth life...

They do matter for Earth orbiting spacecraft too. You don't want a piece of metal finding its way in to the electronics or dust or debris getting in to the camera lens or even oil from fingerprints on the solar panels.

Alot of our UFO sighting in the 50s-60s was our government fiddling around with German Tech. Notice alot of the happened in our southwestern deserts?

Always a rational answer for everything.

If there was aliens capible of unrealistic speed and stealth, then they would have conquered us by now.
Not tease us for 60 + years. Which happens to be how long we been messing with jet engines.

I found a tinfoil hat website for you. PM me if you want it, be warned they ban you for speaking logic there (or mentioning Tavistock, and other goodies I can give you to troll them). Although they do believe this crap has something to do with Niburu, and the Mayan calandar.

Aliens, you have a better chance proving to me that the US congress has Americas best interest in mind.


Don't tell me this place is going the way of the loonies.

Don't misunderestimate them Persians, son -- that there "air conditioner" is the spaceborne equivalent of a Q Ship! Yep, that's a hunter-killer satellite cunningly disguised as a "student project"!!

If one of our spy satellites comes in for a peek, them solar panels flip open, and BLAMMO! Just wait, we're going toe to toe with the Persians, in outer space!

Alan Shepard's sub-orbital flight was just 3 years after Explorer-1, the U.S.' first sattelite. It could be done.

A manned lunar landing by 2025 is ambitious, and prohibitively expensive I think, as Red October pointed out. However, an unmanned lunar landing is certainly within reach.
