With a handle like Reptilian Queen i cant see you thinking its so far off base that aliens would go to different countries depending on the task they have to accomplish...lets just say that if the aliens thought America has been a solo superpower for to long and needed some competition that they would give another very powerful country a boost in the space dept.
Possibly the aliens have a task that the Americans refused to do and ill bet that China would jump at any chance to stick it to the US and all the Aliens have to do is sabotage NASA to make sure China gets the task done.

I think NASA is likely with holding evidence of UFOs.
But this foam problem was noted after the first Shuttle Flight.
They couldn't easily solve the problem and no one really thought that large peices of foam could impact the leading edge of the shuttles. They were wrong and yes they did know it was a possible problem but everytime a shuttle landed safely they grew more confident that this would not happen or bring down a shuttle . Again they were wrong.
This was actually fairly well publicised in the media last year.
Paul Allen is a founding member of Microsoft. I believe he is in the top 5 richest people in the world.
Virgin Galatic is an arm of Richard Branson's 'Virgin' group. He has expressed an interest in space tourism and wants his company to be involved. They are licensed to have space tourism flights in the next 2-3 years.
Burt Rutan is an aircraft designer and designed SpaceShipOne - the winning entry in this contest.
Personally, I can't see pricate companies having the financial resources - even if they are backed by the likes of Paul Allen - to 'compete' with governmental organisations like NASA.

That just shows you how incompetent NASA is. I mean what sane person would not think a huge hole in the protective shielding of the shuttle's wing is not dangerous?

UFO's being seen and shown from NASA missions with what could be shots fired in some
That part intrigued me the most, any opinions on why we are shooting at them.?
What are we shooting at them with?
Obviously i dont know the full story, but it seems very hostile to be firing on them.
Some suggest, to bring it down, for research reasons..
Any idea's????

First of all, all it is in the NASA footage is debris. The "shots fired" that people claim are happening are nothing more than meteors shooting by. They occur very regularly and are easy to see from up there.
Notice the debris moves when the shuttle's thrusters fire? Kind of a clue isn't.
Get real.

Before the environmentally friendly new insulation was used, about 40 of the spacecraft's 26,000 ceramic tiles would sustain damage in missions. However, Katnik reported that NASA engineers found 308 "hits" to Columbia after a 1997 flight. He called the damage "significant." One hundred thirty-two hits were bigger than 1 inch in diameter, and some slashes were as long as 15 inches

I understand that space flight can only be so safe,there will always be risks but to knowingly endanger the lives of so many is unbelievable.Astronauts were killed because of this incompetance and theres no public outcry,no inquiry or wrongfull death.Dont they tell these Astronauts that they are doing a great service for their Country and humanity but their Country and humanity could care less if they live or die....figures.

Tom you know maybe some of the footage is debris as you say but theres no way debris moves and changes directions at those speeds,or flys right up to the camera,thats just ridiculous...If you wanna hold on to the past with that death grip thats fine but coaxing others do to the same by insinuating that your more real is just holding up the progress to the next phase....Trust me you'll know when real gets here!!!

308 hits and a 15 inch slash from one launch of a shuttle in 1997 and they dont expect that foam may rip off.....Do you work for NASA Shaman,you sound way to smart to be defending them unless you think these peoples safety is nothing when compared to the viability of the shuttle program otherwise i suggest you cant see the naked sheep through the wool over your eyes.
I bet in countries with more chins than a chinese phonebook the human hosting goes completely unnoticed...Holy chow maybe China.

LOL! O.K., you win they're alien spacecrafts. There feel better?
Now go ahead and prove it. Good luck.

Ok I really needed to address this because one of my major pet peeves is someone using a joke or even a cliche without knowing the meaning of it. "More chins than a Chinese phone book" is an obesity joke. As in, the person is so fat that they have multiple chins. I don't think I have to explain the "chins in a Chinese phone book" part to you because that seems to be the only thing you got out of it all. So basically your use of the joke doesn't make any sense in this case. I hope you didn't create this thread just to use that joke you heard in school today!!
