Another thing about these government psychic and alien invasion experts.
Looking at the take-off of the Space-EX launch this most recent example of human technological advance, I don’t see much difference from the 1969 moon launch.
The same loud, gassy, burning fuel launch 50 years ago to me indicates that human advanced technology may have been slowing down, of course, beyond iPhone’s and other trinkets it appears some kind of force indeed may just be slowing us down, and I don’t blame them!... Since morally and spiritually we seem to as a species to be going backward.
IMO, all this alien fear and talk about how “we can take ET home" is a bunch of Bull Sh__ and part of the psyop to convince the public we are as advanced as these aliens and can take them on.
I noticed those folks in that capsule were so jammed in it, almost like sardines in a can, I doubt humans are anywhere near the technology of these aliens.

Since they used technology that is similar to what was used in the 1960s, the only real difference is who did it. Sure, the guidance systems are superior and returning that first stage to a boat safely was huge, but they launched a rocket with basically kerosene and liquid oxygen so that hasn't changed much.
Don't misunderstand, I love the space program but we should have better means of propulsion today.

Why is it you do not believe that we can advance in our technology without alien influence?
What you're seeing is just we humans evolving and advancing ourselves. No Aliens needed. For the first time in history people and companies wealthy enough to pay for it exist. This is more a case of seeing the end result of people having that kind of money to spare.

I don't think your supposed logic makes any sense.
They used the same basic technology that has been used since the 50's because we don't have anything better.
It takes an enormous amount of power to launch payloads into space, the only thing that we currently have that can do it is rockets. The space X rockets are enormously more efficient that what has been used in the past.
It's like saying we had jet planes in the 60's too, jets have not made any real progress since then. Which is obviously false.
It's not that space x couldn't have launched men into space years ago - they could have, it just would not have been very safe.
If the government has anything anti-grav it would have to be a recovered vehicle they have figured out how to fly. There is no way we are advanced enough to create our own. We don't have the material science and we don't have a power source that would work now.
I don't think the feds have anything more advanced than what we saw today.

You posted this in the Aliens & UFOs forum. What did you mean by "ET-level tech"?
Our technological advances as humans have been the result of wealth since it started. At first, wealth meant having adequate food. Learning to farm, led to enough free time to develop other things, which led to even more free time and resources to advance further. Before now, the private sector did not have the disposable resources to develop space travel commercially.
I have no doubt that tech exists that we are not privy to, due to it being important to military technology, We rightly keep it close to the vest so it can't be stolen, and put us at risk from our own tech.
So could we have ET or seemingly ET tech as it pertains to dark projects? Sure we could, IMO.

Yes and no. The military really isn't 50 years ahead as so many claim. I know people that have worked bleeding edge programs and would have almost killed someone to get their hands on something from the civilian world that was more efficient and easier to use.
