Quoting: Obtrice1985 THIS!!! Sounds like some good American jobs to me. Can't find American made anymore - even if American Companies. This has to have been planned or at least forseen. We make almost nothing. Can't get a coffeemaker made in America or any small appliances. "What are you helping with all this helping?" Buddhist saying |

So far I couldn't find any other GPS stations in Russia [link to www.iris.edu] "He who people call a fool is not a fool, but he who takes flattery for Truth, is." |

We have lots of things here "made in China", UK, Germany and many other countries, but nothing saying "made in USA" "He who people call a fool is not a fool, but he who takes flattery for Truth, is." |

Relax, it's all part of their plan to destroy us, and it is proceeding WAY beyond even their best estimates, I'm sure. Soon... SOON. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 58073667  Colombia05/14/2014 05:37 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Re: Moscow banning the use of Russian made rocket engines for US military and will shut down GPS sites Moscow delivered a double whammy of bad news to US space programs today by banning the use of Russian made rocket engines for US military national security launches and by declining to prolong cooperation on the International Space Station (ISS) – says Russia’s deputy prime minister, Dmitry Rogozin, who is in charge of space and defense industries. Quoting: °Lucy° Virtually every aspect of the manned and unmanned US space program – including NASA, other government agencies, private aerospace company’s and crucial US national security payloads – are highly dependent on Russian & Ukrainian rocketry and are clearly at risk amidst the current Ukrainian crisis as tensions continue to escalate with deadly new clashes reported today in Ukraine with global repercussions. The engines at issue are the Russian made RD-180 engines – which power the first stage of the venerable Atlas V rocket built by United Launch Alliance (ULA) and are used to launch a wide array of US government satellites including top secret US military spy satellites for the US National Reconnaissance Office, like NROL-67, as well as science satellites for NASA like the Curiosity Mars rover and MAVEN Mars orbiter.
