But that's why we ended it! All that funding is now free to build starships! Don't you see the line of logic?!Chu_Sandre said:If the U.S. hadn't ended our space program so abruptly, I could believe in very early secret plans to create one, which would explain him seeing documents, but I would still doubt that we had a secret space navy already in orbit around the earth, especially when it came to the fact that plenty of amateur astronomers would've spotted them by now.
Alas, with our space agency already having done their final space mission, my above paragraph wouldn't even be a flicker of hope. And it would be a hope of mine if it had any truth to it, for space exploration is, in my opinion, the leading contribution Russia and the US have made in this world.
I love you, that post just made my day.Neverhoodian said:Hmmm, it sounds strangely familiar, but I can't put my finger on it...
...oh yeah.
Sounds to me like the guy's watched one too many sci-fi thrillers.
It's next to impossible for the world's governments to agree on anything, so the odds of them secretly creating a space defense force is extremely unlikely. Also, everything we know about space travel and relativity indicates that the odds of extraterrestrial contact is pretty much nil.
Just because someone's in the military doesn't mean they're immune from crazy conspiracy theories.

Let alone manage their own people. Like truck drivers that decided to assist with the killing in Rwanda, etc. When you're talking conspiracy, don't make the mistake of thinking about those screwwy Blue Beret U.N. SpecOps guys that would show up at the drop of a hat in the "X-Files" shows. The real UN is like herding cats. In a yarn factory.badgersprite said:The UN couldn't operate a petrol pump
Ever heard of the hundreds of 'UFO crash' stories?Shamanic Enzan said:If the UN was running a space navy, I'm pretty damn sure a few more things would have crashed by now.

A Ship without Marines is like a garment without buttons.Sir Rammington Steel said:Sorry Sleekit, Marines and Navy are different branches. We could have Space Navy Seals though. Hehe Space Seals. It doesn't have the same badass ring to it I must admit. I don't think that there is a space navy. Though presumably one day when we have the technology some force is going to have to marshal in space. They do use the navy so much in fiction for a reason.
