Fox News: Russian little Crimea
Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin, Russia announced intention to develop a program of lunar exploration. Fox News believes that such ambitions, at least, must alarm USA. According to the TV channel, Russia is seriously ahead of America in terms of the development of space technologies, and if the situation does not change in a few decades, Russia will be pushed around by the United States, threatening the lunar military bases.
Forget about trying to Putin to annex the neighboring country, one of the former Soviet republics, and maybe more than one. I believe he intends to do the same with "neighboring" satellites. Yes, you understood correctly. It seems that Russia is trying to stick a flag in the ground, not only other countries, but in a couple of good old large craters.
None other than the Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin, Russia announced plans to hold a series of operations on the moon. He said: "This process has a beginning but no end: we're going to go to the moon forever."
So the star or is it zvezdanutye ambitions? We are joined by retired lieutenant colonel Robert Maginnis, who believes that in any case it is disturbing. Just anxious. Well, it's really scary, Colonel. They did not even try to hide their intentions.
Robert Maginnis, US Army Lieutenant Colonel Retired: Yes, Neil, it is. You know, when I first heard about it, I thought it was funny. But in fact, China, Japan and, of course, the United States are considering the idea.
If we recall, in the debate between presidential candidates from the Republican Party, Gingrich and Romney discussed this theme where we will be able to extract those rare earth metals, which are now moving forward our technological progress. Their stocks are depleted. And by the way, many of them we imported from China.
And that embargo, which they introduced in 2010, made us think Japan. And many of us are now wondering where you can get these rare earth metals. And, interestingly, we have, in fact, investigated some areas of the moon in search of minerals. There have even been mapped.
Based on the results, it has been suggested that in a certain period of time the Moon was melted clumps of matter, so it is likely that these minerals can be concentrated in certain areas, and they can produce. So it's not such a transcendental idea.
I'm more inclined to think that they really begin to develop its space program, which is already in full swing since we rolled our own. And we have to ask them to "throw" to the ISS have to enjoy the same space. They're going to go to the moon, China is going to go to the moon. We all have something we can answer it?
Robert Maginnis: Unfortunately, not too much, you're right. Half of the astronauts, half of the people who now fly into space - the Russians. Russia has a very good means to send ships into space.
China claims that they are going to fly, collect a pile of stones from different regions of the moon and bring them back to Earth. They then assess the feasibility of the expedition and will fly there to extract minerals.
This is only a pile of stones, or is it here we can talk about creating a wonderful space in a military springboard?
Robert Maginnis: There is no doubt about it. Of course, it's not just about mining, but also on military deterrence. If you are under the control of the moon, but you and no one was there, you can say you have control of the entire satellite.
Will they use the moon for military purposes? You see what happened to the Crimea, Ukraine, remember the history of Russia. They think not, as we have paranoia concerning the Western intervention in the affairs of the region. And unfortunately, if we do not tackle the mind, it is possible that in 20-30 years Russia will tell us.
It is very strange that they moved from the neighboring countries to the satellite of the Earth. Very strange ending. Colonel, thank you very much.
