Influence of Sci Fi on Technology and ET tech

Wow Boncho, i gave you a star, LOL never thought i'd see the day we would agree on anything, but you hit the spot there dude
Tell you what i think, we never went back to the moon because of what we found there during those covert EVA's

And i think the latest show of tech like the new HLV's and ISS are just window dressing, i am getting more proof each day that we do have a space fleet, we have tech that would make the average trekkie wet his pants.
But it's under the control of a very select group, IMO outside the gubmint & accountable to no-one.

Now i don't care what their agenda is, they have absolutely no right to be regarded as representatives of the human race to ET. Hopefully ET is well aware of this, but as Prescott Bush said, they lie even better than we do......
ETA: sorry that was his dad, Vannevar Bush...
