The Falcon Heavy will be launching later this year. That is what is slated to send the Red Dragon to Mars. SpaceX was the first to return a first stage from space by propulsive landing, both land and sea. Yes I have heard about Blue Origin, if you check my post history you would see that I...

If they are successful they would also double the record for the largest man made object on Mars I believe.

honestly?... agreed.

Here is a NASA take SpaceX will be doing this on its own dime. http://blogs.nasa.gov/newman/2016/04/27/exploring-together/?linkId=23925499

SpaceX says it will fly a spacecraft to Mars as soon as 2018 By Christian Davenport April 27 at 12:10 PM In its first launch to resupply the International Space Station since its rocket exploded last year, Elon Musk's SpaceX landed its unmanned rocket on a floating 'drone barge' in the...

erm... might step a bit too far from the source material. Purists would not like it, but we'll see, it all depends on presentation. That said i'm not exactly a comic book afficiando.

Depends how you define failure. Given that China itself is not going to buy the J-31, I'm comfortable assuming it can't really be compared to the F-35. China would be very eager for a true 5th gen jet, they wouldn't just sell it for export without building any for themselves. This tells me it...

Then be happy! that is already the case. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reserve_currency The US isn't the only global reserve currency, it is shorthand to consider the US dollar 'The' reserve currency because it makes up more of the share than all of the others combined, but there are definitely...

From my experience, most blacks and hispanics are no more or less patriotic than whites. That's why what you say sounds so facepalm worthy, I don't think you've met many blacks or hispanics.

SpaceX also initially tested reusability with Parachutes, and came to the conclusion that a powered landing was the best way. I wonder if China will reach a different conclusion.

So basically their competition is India?

It is about sending a rover to mars, this is indeed being twisted by many media sources for a clickbait title. Some are reporting on it accurately though. http://www.slashgear.com/china-wants-its-own-rover-on-mars-by-2020-22437525/ Frankly I'm somewhat ok with the fearmongering on this...

China Stopped From Buying 1% Of Australia So close, but yet so far. A private Chinese company was temporarily banned from its deal with S. Kidman & Company, Australia’s largest land owner. The government is reviewing the deal, citing “national interests”. (Stock photo provided by Pexels) China...

Seeing as the number of Tucanos purchased that you provided was only 20 when I thought it was a longer term purchase, I clearly am not up to speed on this and will have to bow out when it comes to the feasability of gradually replacing the A-10 with Super Tucanos or a similar craft. That said I...

For an uncontested air environment against insurgents wielding ak's and rpgs they would be more than sufficient. For a more contested environment we could just use F-35's. Yes we've already purchased the A-10's but to my knowledge we've already have contracts for the A-29 as well. I hope the...
