    If they were doing it for real reasons…

    They’d have launched a few big ones.

    Not just throwing a bunch of junk into space to beat a record no one else is trying to beat.

    Although, to be honest I thought no one would be dumb enough to fall for the propaganda and think any of the stuff people keep bringing up in this thread was worth bragging about.

    But I can admit when I’m wrong.

      what reasons are real enough for you?

      is a navigation system real enough? are weather satellites helping with disasters and saving lives real enough? is telecommunications real enough? is the millions they earn from private satellites real enough?

      i’m sorry all of this falls under propaganda for you. for me personally, these are all real enough to warrant a space program.

      doesn’t look like it

        His brain thinks a country that can successfully launch rockets surely doesn’t have what it takes to build a secure linux distro. You think that brain is capable of admitting to mistakes?
