Not before i was born at all. I remember when America was a great country with achievements to be admired, and am passionate about Apollo Missions. It doesn't alter the fact a lot of your rockets are transported horizontally, you were the one acting superior because the U.S so called didn't do it.

Those are temporary insulating tiles, which keep components and fuel at the right temperature. Then designed to fall away at launch to save weight. Mostly at China's cold Desert launch sites. www.youtube.com/watch?v=V973...

It's so sad, 50% or close to it of NASA's Science Budget will be slashed by this administration. Once respected and looked up to by the whole world. I grew up admiring the organisation. Sad that a generation will likely miss out on being inspired by many scrapped missions and projects.

I know! Even more ironic than 'Rain on your Wedding Day'. Better than not having one though.

That's thermal tiles falling away, which protect the rocket from temperature extremes while it's on the launch pad. www.youtube.com/watch?v=V973...

Help with Russian designs in the early stages of their manned flight etc, is a fraction of the help the Nazi engineers who sent America first in to Space, Orbit, and on to the Moon, with Wernher von Braun, and project Paper Clip gave the U.S.

China's Space program has grown well beyond anything involved in its initial start up. As demonstrated by building its Tiangong Space Station in 1.5 Years! Landing on the Moons Far Side, and Mars.

The U.S Administration is looking to slash NASA's science budget by half, and do not believe in Global Warming either, but i believe NASA has existing ones in place still for now, also The European Space Agency has Satellites monitoring gases too.
