I hope you can see the irony of this one.

Lockheed building satellites for the Chinese.....

Now i thought that clinton had left office.....

maybe its so they can shut them down or monitor the through traffic?? any ideas?
www.lockheedmartin.com...

1998 but still very eye opening.

Like you I wonder what extra goodies they install for free and without anyone's knowledge??

i agree theres no way the us military complex would sell china some uber advanced satilite technology

unless of course

we install goodies without telling anyone ...

and strip some of the really good stuff off too...
dont want them commies gettin our good stuff lol...

It was designed for telecommunications, freedom of speech and all that stuff. In other words the satelite was media related, nothing to do with missile defence. I don't see the irony, and I also don't see what all the fuss is all about.

Im with web. Lockheed's gonna make em how the chinese tell em too, not how the us govt would want em made. nothing special going on, although i do see the irony.

except that plastic figurines /= satellites.
