It is true that they are stealing everything from us. It is not limited to military and space technology. Some of our past leaders have even helped them, giving some of our proprietary space technology secrets to them. You may believe it or not but it is true.

I was in intelligence gathering on the Chinese back in the 50s and way back in that time the Chinese believed that they were destine to rule the world. It has been their goal.

The negative marks by my comments do not bother me at all. However, I am not a person writing about something I know nothing about, I am 83 years old now and I have not been a causal reader about the climate subject. I have been very seriously studying the subject for more than 20 years. Have been reading and studying material from scientist from all over the world. I have also read a lot of material on the subject written by NASA. For years I worked for a company who was a NASA contractor and I still know people currently employed by NASA. Of all the comments here by others just shows how little they know and understand of the subject. Mr. Roy Hunte's comments are the only response that is correct. Thank you Mr. Hunte. People who are depending on information from the main-stream-media on the subject of climate are just lost. If that is where your information comes from, you know nothing. Weather the Earth's temperature gets warmer or colder has nothing to do with CO2. CO2 is

Carbon Dioxide or CO2, is not the villain in our atmosphere. It DOES NOT cause global warming. The amount of CO2 in our atmosphere is very minuscule. Currently is measures only about 420 ppm (parts per million), such a very tiny amount. Only about 4 percent of that CO2 in our atmosphere is made by man and if man stopped all of his input world wide it would have no effect on our atmosphere. On the other hand, our Earth produces about 96 percent of the CO2 in our atmosphere. Nature puts it there largely by volcanic eruptions both undersea and surface volcanoes. The very most important thing to know about CO2 is that without it, life could not exist on this Earth. That is correct, life could not exist on this Earth without CO2. People who study real science are aware of this. However the global warming alarmist only listen to the propaganda put out by the UNIPPC. Man should stop trying to take it out of our atmosphere. If they are ever successful, human and animal life could cea

I think you are right.

The subject you opened up here is very vast and complex. No intention on my part to be confrontational but rather to expand on the subject matter. As for the B-52, it has been kept very current over the year on the latest in electronic countermeasures and while air dominance is preferable, the aircraft in spite of its size and shape is pretty stealthy. Russia and China are moving on to hyper-sonic delivery systems which will complicate our air defense systems. Laser weapons are beginning to come of age and are being put on-board our Navy ships and even in some ground vehicles. Laser weapons have be flying in large aircraft such as old C-135s for some time and have demonstrated some effectiveness. An old man like me will never live to see these thing coming. Maybe that is good.

The water injection is to cool the EGT (Exhaust Gas Temperature) giving the engine more thrust.

Yes, I remember the water injection. Blowing smoke until all the water tanks were empty and you could see the smoke stop when the water ran out.

Let me see if my memory can recall a few things about the old B-52Ds. Basic weight of the aircraft was about 162 thousand pounds; with crew and all of their gear; nuclear weapons and on alert with a full EWO (Emergency War Order) fuel load, when the aircraft rolled down the runway for take-off it weighed roughly 500,000 pounds. On the way to an enemy target, most would receive at least one air refueling of another 125,000 pounds of fuel. I wonder how long I could run my car on that much fuel. At one time SAC had 500 B-52s.

After serving 7 years in SAC; beginning with them during the Cuban Missile Crisis, I have seen many of these. It seemed that back then in the "Cold War" the take-off spacing was much closer. Back then it was called Minimum Interval Take-off or MITO and a MITO meant 15 second intervals between aircraft. The early model B-52s were powered by J-57B engines. Later models were equipped with much better fan-jet engines. Of course, the nuclear means they were capable of carrying and delivering nuclear weapons on an enemy and that is what they were built for, so they have always been capable of delivering nuclear weapons. Considering its use in Vietnam and in the Middle-East, I like to refer to the B-52 as the true weapon of mass destruction.
