it causes me to question your rationality. Again, show me one iota of actual evidence to support this claim of "working anti grav technology" and we'll talk like adults.
Well if you were a 'adult' you would not need to assume ignorance on my side as the crux of your argument. Anti gravity technology and implementation is reality but it changes nothing as all this can be done with good old rocket tech circa 1970. If you do understand or know about anti gravity that is entirely YOUR problem and i am quite sick of assuming the burden of proof when it's you attacking and denying reality.

Why exactly should i provide you with links you could find yourself had you that intent? The burden of proof is not on me ( it's very much in the scientific literature) so why try shove it this way?

Its now very clear to me that you are a "conspiracy nut", and couldn't find a single source on the net to prove your outlandish claims.

It's my way of demanding that you establish your credibility here by showing you can discover at least the basic reality of anti gravity. Is it really that hard to consider that someone can be better informed than yourself?

My credibility?!? I think I've established my credibility here, I've being a member of this site for over 2 years, and posted thousands of times...my credibility is not whats in question.
What is in question is that you have yet to point out ONE credible link on anti-grav.

And, I do believe in Aliens (I think if you dont, you are very close minded), and I'm sure there are plenty of alien craft buzzin around our little rock...
and I wouldn't dispute that the US Gov does have some reverse engineered craft that can do much of what theres can.
But I dont really discuss that because its pointless. Black aircraft will usually (hopefully) find there way into the limelight...But IF, the Gov does have "ufo's"...they will never be revealed.
There are so many stupid anti-grav sites out there, and they have no working prototype...nor are they building one to prove that their fancilful claims are indeed in the realm of reality.
an example is "AmericanAntiGrav"

Any interplanetary manned mission requires the resources of all space-faring nations and others too.
I seriously doubt we can see men on Mars soon unless there is a consolidated effort on the comparable to the ISS.
We have lots of capable space agencies out there and we need all to get to the moon and beyond esp since disjoint funding is a very cruial aspect for the sustainibility of any long term projects.
Once we can sort out the issues of tech-transfer, siphenig of tech for ulterior military motives etc etc. this can continue.
A joint Mission for anything, base on the moon/mars etc. will be much more efficient than a unilateral approach.
Along with disjoint funding, there are obv more minds working and simply more number of launch vehicles available.
Hope it is a joint mission. Humans would have been on the moon by the late 1950s if it was a consolidated effort.

So their using Anti grav technology but we can not? Why assume aliens interested enough in a planet were so many ( you apparently included) still have issues with anti gravity? I know it's not a great argument but i sometimes wonder how average ignorant posters can so readily believe in aliens and the like when they so completely lack the scientific background to base their opinions on....
Why are we so backwards that all our technology must be reversed engineered? Did the wright brothers see alien spaceships and based their machines on that?
Once it's clear that we are not alone the whole religious control system will suffer a blow from which it might very well never recover. They control us through artificially induced ignorance and isolating us from understanding our roots ( i believe we are not genetically 'pure' and not just the result of evolutionary mechanisms) and the cardinal principle there is to convince us that there is nothing 'out there' and that even if it is it's too far away to get here with enough to bother us with.
We have had patented working prototypes for at least a few decades now.
(I'm mainly referring to terrorist, where their Islam religion tells them to die for it, and they will get 72 virgins waiting for them......Which...BTW, is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. But these wacko's believe it and go drive a car rigged with explosives into a market to kill as many as possible.

Once again assuming the use of rockets and a concerted effort to stick to them when we have so many other more effective working technologies.
Joint missions are notorious for the wastage ( look at European and Asian efforts for joint fighter design) as so many players wants so many different things at different times with changing political themes just for good measure.

Humans could have been on the moon by the early 60's had American agencies wanted to work together or were for that mattered forced to do so and it really has nothing to do with 'outsourcing' as there were no immensely complex issues to resolve compared to what was invested in nuclear weaponry and energy.

Well, rockets are quite the fashion today..lets not just discard our primary means for space flight just yet.
Quite a bit considering the earlier skepticism of it being an all American thing.
Spaceflights to the ISS were totally non american for a period of 2 years. Another good practical example of disjoint launch vehicle programs.
Like?
Anti-gravity? Seems the debate is already on
Ion drives? very low-mass payloads..
Pardon my ignorance but could you share/explain these new alternative methods?And hence reluctance to involve other countries?
On the contrary a joint mission with multiple govts ensures longevity of the program as mission objectives aren't continuously plagued by the whims and fancies of changing govts.
A commitment at the international level spans individual sessions in political office.
The European efforts for a joint space program are evident.
Its shrewd to ignore that and concentrate on the fighter program.
Still they would've been there before that if it was a consolidated effort nonetheless.
The requirement of the infrastructural facilities to setup a efficienct control and command structure(including deep space rescue) for a interplanetary manned mission would need the involvement of many parties contributing at the same time.
Lets not forget the millions of ways the Apollo program cold have gone wrong and didn't because of the hurried and pressurised environment of a space race.
We don't want that on a manned Mars mission.

But Eligar Sadeh, a professor of space studies at the University of North Dakota, said there are always benefits from international cooperation and pointed to U.S.-Russia space cooperation as an example. During the 2 1/2 years that NASA's shuttle fleet was grounded after the Columbia disaster in 2003, the United States relied on the Russian Soyuz vehicle to ferry U.S. astronauts to the space station.
