Cites? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korea_Space_Launch_Vehicle I really don't see the real utility of either vehicle other than national pride and political leverage. --Damon |

It has something colored differntly than the rest of the rocket, sure. It could be a simple heatshield atop the fairing to protect it from ascent heating, but what it actually resembles is the nose of a Corona reconsat RV like were launched attached to a Agena upper stage. So? The conical tops of anyone of a number of launch fairings resemble conical RVs. D. -- Touch-twice life. Eat. Drink.

Yeah but the top of this one is brownish-red, like some sort of ablative material: http://www.irandefence.net/attachmen...1&d=1239150049 You get heating on the way up, but _that_ much heating? It also looks like it bulges out a bit from the smooth contour of the nosecap. Pat |

Bull. *They're not aimed at SK; they have enough range to get a third of the way around the world. You're not making any sense. You are speakng as if the two sentences are related somehow. Obviously ANY space capable system is also capable of hitting targets anywhere on Earth. Any orbital system is capable of sending payloads anywhere on Earth. That's the point. That's why WE developed space capability, that's why the Russians developed space capability, that's why the Chinese developed space capability - and that's why we should never have pushed the South Korea to develop their own space launcher. My point still stands. HAD THE USA NOT PUSHED THE SOUTH TO DEVELOP THEIR OWN ROCKETS, WE WOULD HAVE HAD CHINESE SUPPORT IN PUTTING PRESSURE ON THE NORTH TO END THEIR PROGRAM. You keep ignoring this obvious point. b) had the USA not pushed South Korean rocket development, China would have helped us put pressure on North Korea to end its program In what way did the USA "push" SK towards rocket development? South Korea first gained experience with missiles provided by the United States. http://www.astronautix.com/country/korsouth.htm KARI began in 1990 to develop its own rockets. It produced the KSR-I and KSR-II, one and two-stage rockets in the early 1990s. In December 1997 it began development of a LOX/kerosene rocket engine. KARI wished to develop satellite launch capability. A test launch of the KSR-III took place in 2002. c) had the USA worked more openly with nations to help them orbit payloads, there would be less incentive to develop their own launchers - as all space faring nations cooperate to end missile proliferation. The US does help nations orbit payloads. *Openly. *For that matter, why doesn't NK use Chinese LVs to launch their satellites? BECAUSE THE USA IS HELPING SK BUILD ITS OWN LAUNCHER IF THE USA ENDED THAT PROGRAM THEN CHINA WOULD PUT PRESSURE ON NK TO DO THE SAME. South Korea turned to Russia to develop its own launcher. *South Korea decided to speed up development by joining with Russia, and cooperation began in 2004. KARI is now developing the Korea Space Launch Vehicle, whose first- stage is based on the Angara rocket. First launch of the KSLV is expected in 2009. Says who? *Cites? I gave you citations... above here are more http://www.kari.re.kr/english/ http://www.kslv.or.kr/ It really helps if you actually read up on a thing before talking about it. A deal was also struck on October 24, 2005 to send a Korean into space aboard a Russian Soyuz spaceflight. Through the Korean Astronaut Program, Russia has trained two South Koreans and has sent one (Yi So-yeon) to the International Space Station in 2008. That's a long way from developing missile technology. Duh! That' the pont Alan! The US was pushing to develop an independent launch capability - which threatens the Chinese and the North - and so the Chinese help the North devlop their own capabilities. sheez. The Russians stepped in and did in the South what WE should have done - but then WE stepped in and helped them with their first stage engine. Can we really expect the Chinese to back down at something like that? Hell no. This whole thing is engineered by the DOD to build support for SDI. They figure if the banks and the stimulus package are going to be $1 trillion each - they want to get their digs in with a trillion dollar missile defense system too! That's all this is about - and that's why we're being such ****s |

Laugh. http://derekl1963.livejournal.com/ -Resolved: To be more temperate in my postings. Oct 5th, 2004 JDL ALL SPACE FARING NATIONS DEVELOPED MISSILE CAPABILITIES ALONG WITH THEIR SPACE LAUNCH CAPABILITIES THEY'RE THE SAME THING! Speaking as if they're somehow not related is ignorant. Its the same with nuclear capabilities. All first generation nuclear power stations have been used to make nuclear materials suitable for a weapon. Its the same skill set -even though later commercial reactors are dumbed down. We need to either sell space launch (or nuclear services) that are non threatening - or sell parts engineered not to be threatening. We don't we do it half-assed, to keep the threats alive - otherwise, why would we need SDI and all the other machinery? The situation in the Korea's is an excellent case in point. The development of nuclear capabilities in Pakistan and N. Korea is another case in point. Ditto in Iran. The US isn't doing half of what it could do, because it has other fish to fry - which is too damned bad. |

Sputnik said to the USA, we can send warheads anywhere you are. The other uses are secondary at this stage of their development. That we behaved in a way that focused their attention on this rather than away from it - by helping the South threaten China rather than working with China to disarm both - was stupid and done for very narrow gains while ignoring a larger world view that is beyond US intelligence and defense thinking. |

The Dow Jones industrial average fell 411.30 points, or 4.7 percent, to close at 8,282.66. I say: I don't get it. We were supposed to recoup the bailout money when the mortgage bond market became unfrozen, and they could resell the bonds to the tune of a very great profit that would more than compensate the american taxpayer.

At least with the original plan, there was some glimmer of payback this however is a hoax and was on day one "marika" wrote in message ... well I am glad to see that Kucinich was at least nailing Kashkari. I don't know what he is doing now but this was good The fact that he suspects as much as I do is somewhat telling he got grilled mercilessly in March Kashkari not Kucinich with exhortations that he should resign because he has no clue what he was doing good to keep them on their toes and they should hire me I would be transformative and LOOK KUCINICH mentioned the tarp bonus problem way back in November no one was paying attention http://www.abcnews.go.com/Blotter/Wa...6230441&page=1 Lawmakers Demand to See Bailout Chief Neel Kashkari to Testify Before Congress on Friday. By JUSTIN ROOD November 11, 2008 The Treasury Department's top bailout official will testify before Congress Friday, after two congressmen wrote to demand he appear. Assistant Treasury Secretary Neel Kashkari listens on Capitol Hill in Washington, Thursday, Oct. 23, 2008, during a Senate Banking Committee hearing on the U.S. financial crisis. (Gerald Herbert/AP Photo) The department rejected an earlier request by Reps. Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio, and Darrell Issa, R-Calif., for Neel Kashkari, Interim Assistant Secretary for the Treasury for Financial Stability, to appear at a hearing slated for Friday, the two lawmakers said. Kucinich and Issa are the chairman and ranking member of the Domestic Policy Subcommittee of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, respectively. Kashkari's appearance is "imperative," the two told Treasury Secretary Henry M. Paulson, Jr., in a letter dated Tuesday. "There are serious questions," the duo said, whether the $700 billion Troubled Assets Relief Program could actually stabilize the economy, as Congress and the Bush administration intended. Related Who's Minding the Bailout?Wall Street Titans Blasted on Capitol HillComplete Blotter Coverage: Wall Street of Shame Kashkari testified before a Senate panel late last month. But his testimony - and subsequent responses from Treasury officials to House staffers -- were mostly "generalizations," the lawmakers wrote Paulson. Kucinich and Issa cited news reports that banks have used some of the $250 billion from TARP to buy other financial institutions and pay bonuses - not to make new loans and thaw credit markets, which the economy needs. "The time has come for the Treasury Department to speak clearly and definitively to Congress and the American people about its plans for the extraordinary sums Congress has authorized," the lawmakers wrote. |
