Another silly example of meaningless Putin theatrics. There's going to be an incident eventually...

Big fucking deal.
First off, there wouldn't have been a barrel roll over any legitimate "reconnaissance aircraft" unless slats & flaps out & down/ flying w/ props.
Boils down to simple shit stirring against the Russians.
FYI: They're 12 hours ahead and 50 years behind. Believe me.
Putin 2016!
Got my 9g pin X 3 ...so FUCK YOU.

The Soviet Union is dead and gone, Russia frightens no one anymore. They don't have the money or the friends or the money or the populace or the money or the technology or the money or the industry to even fight Finland again.
And besides they're broke.

Any real reason not to view that as "Economic Aid" by another name?

Because, after going to the moon, we spent the next three decades patting ourselves on the back because we could play around in Low Earth Orbit. Like if, after Columbus discovered the Bahamas, Spain spent the next half-century sailing around the Balearic Sea.
Meanwhile the Ruskies were learning how to live in space.

IMHO I think a Moon base is the important next step but we won't get there without the research, dev and commercialization that has occurred in the past three decades. Without our efforts in Internet, Micro-computing (remember that term?) and advanced manufacturing (3D printing) any hope of true space exploration may as well be fantasy. It was definitely time for government to go back to regulation and over-sight.

No need for men in space race anymore when we have perfected endless wars of terror to enrich defense contractors with direct no bid contracts. Much more efficient transfer of wealth. Less mucking about with government middlemen and red tape. We taxpayers should be proud of our American exceptionalism in developing the best dang capitalist system in the world.
Besides robots can do everything faster, stronger, better in space. Why even bother putting men up there?

We're still going to want to send people - I can think of more than a few just off the top of my head.
