actually they had no guiedance technology for their rockets until mister clinton decided to practically give it to them. this was true of their missels, i'd assume that if they could not guide their missles, that they would also not be able to guide a rocket into space. i am however not a rocket scientist so i could be wrong. our guidence technology was better than that of the russians. they could use the russian technology i guess , but, why would they when they had better? maybe i am wrong, but, maybe i am right. i have been both in the past. --- Deri James <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > On Saturday 18 Oct 2003 9:42 pm, you wrote: > > yes, theyhave sent someone into space. with our > > technology. > > How do you mean that Ken? > > I thought the Chinese had received help from the > Russians rather than the > Americans, and that most of the US rocket design > came from Werner von Braun > (the nazi scientist who built the V2 rockets for > Hitler, and was responsible > for many deaths in the concentration camp attached > to his production > facility). > > Cheers > > Deri __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
