Your comments on my 'aspirations for the British Empire are laughable.
Considering the US is attempting to create an American Empire at this very moment.
I was going to post a list of your spectacular failures of rocket launches of which there are many many but there are so many I will leave it up to you.
We dont need to make our own rockets any more, we just pay others to do it for us. We proved we could do it with a far more reliable and far cheaper rocket than those posessed by the rest of the world at the time. Then someone asked the question "Why bother" and indeed I agree with them.

Well, seeing some of the stuff you post its quite apt, its so laughable, it makes people think "why bother", though "grabbing at straws for any evidence" is more so.

Well in France they hire a person to 'make funny noise' to 'distract the crowd' They are called 'buffoons'... I wonder what the British equivalent is?
Seriously though, I don't know why you bother to be here, or why I should bother to even respond to you
So far you have shown no overwhelming evidence to support your claim.

"Overwhelming" evidence?"
"Overwhelming" evidence?
It used to be 'any' evidence. We must be making progress Zorgon!

My point in regards to the 500kg was more in line with the following thought. The Progress supply ship carries 2500kg, leaves 2000kg at the ISS, then there's 500kg left/trip "unaccounted" for. Now if the ISS receives 2 tons for 3 people at regular intervals, how much can be accomplished with 500kg/trip for the other station(s), whether they are mini stations or the real secret bigger one?
Also, taking the amount of time and money, associated dangers and major logistics required of a chemical rocket launch, then one would assume that they would ask themselves "Hey, let's use our zero gravity space craft from the South Pole, where no one can see us taking off and landing, have a faster turnaround time between trips, cheaper and less dangerous, with higher capacity dedicated to the secret space station(s), instead of trying to wing it through the regular smoke and mirror stuff that could be traced by suspicious people" type of thing
A secret space station would certainly come from government(s). And what interest would manned mini stations have to any governments?

I have some ideas about many things, but untill I come up with sufficient proof that leaves no doubt in my mind or others, I wont even bother.
So far you have shown no overwhelming evidence to support your claim.
"In 1975 I investigated a UFO/Strange Black Ray Cloud formation, taken by a Belfast member of the British Antarctic Survey. He gave me some images of a pulsing cloud formation firing a black ray into the ice, which bounced off and reflected further away from him. Who knows... maybe someone down there is using negative energy beam weapons? Or was... since the images were taken in 1966."

To prove a point, there has to be overwhelming evidence. There has been no overwhelming evidence, notr anything close.

(we have already established that there are secret satellites) then logic would dictate that there would be secret supply ships and secret personnel carriers...
Skeptics like Mr Penny and Chorlton state that we are showing readily available existing facts and 'twisting' them to our purpose.
Originally posted by MrPennyIn fact, I was very carefully leading a poster here in a detailed look at the actual cargoes and quantities hoisted into space.
Originally posted by MrPenny My position is that your "facts" are a set of loosely related topics joined by assumption and wishes.
Originally posted by zorgon
Ah so I take it then you have accurate cargo lists on all the flights?
The arrival of Progress 20 delivered about 5,680 pounds (2,576 kilograms) of more cargo to the space station. Included on the manifest were 183 pounds (83 kilograms)of oxygen and air, 463 pounds (210 kilograms)of water and 1,940 pounds (879 kilograms)) of propellant for the station's thrusters. Progress 20 also delivered, 3,100 pounds (1,406 kilograms) of dry cargo, including food, experiment hardware, spare parts and holiday gifts for the ISS crew.

But perhaps you have some suggestions on how I better post 'facts' that require breaching National security issues?
