That must be partly to the fact that SR-71 did not fly over Russia (a big no-no) and Communist Russia did not sell S-300 to their remote satellites. After the collapse of the USSR, they started to sell cut-down versions to various countries but without the well-trained crews and well-tested operating procedures, it could be never successful. Any S-300 on non-Russian soils right now are there because of post-fall of Communism sales.
Even more, not a single S-300 was fired under combat, yet.

Reliable source you got there, chemtrailsplanet... Are you allowed to access the net w/o wearing your tinhat foil?

Why would you bother, a ICBM or even non-intercontinental versions are way faster compared to a hypersonic plane.
If you want stealth, USA used to have stealthy nuclear-capable cruise missiles, now phased out because they were unnecessary.

There should be a law stating if you get kicked out, then you can't join back in immediately. The presidents are locked out after two terms, cannot see why that cannot apply to the congresscritters.

Then you would see how quickly they would find a middle ground.

You did not get what Obama wanted (a proper, public health care system like NHS), you got what Republicans wanted, called it "Obamacare" and now Republicans don't even want that being passed.
Don't you Americans read news or watch newspapers? I am shocked with the level of misinformation when it comes to your own laws.

Why just add "Fuck cancer too"...?
You'd sing a different tune as soon as you got an illness.
I don't live in US but even I remember Republican scare stories about Obama taking away the Medicare and people rushing out and shouting "hands off medicare"...

So you're just blaming Obama for being black.
Grow up.

You and your countrymen voted for them. You get what you deserve.

You say redundancy, I say pork barrel economics.

Human flight to be restored? I did not know Chinese and Russians had stopped.

Oh, you mean, "USian" human flight capability to be restored? Why? US should learn how to be an ex-imperial society just like the other old empires, here in UK (we still have a massive dose of delusions of grandeur at the political level), France, little Holland, Portugal and Spain...

If one has to summarise a single short paragraph consisting of three short sentences with a TL;DR, I think humanity need to end, now, and need to pass the baton to a more intelligent species.

Yeah, just like their massively successful(!) mobile platform, properly market it like giving the phones away for free, and people still go and buy Android devices.

Disclaimer: I've got a windows phone as well as some Androids & a company-provided iPhone 5. Neither iPhone is worth the hype nor the WIndows shite is worth anything.

Microsoft didn't make the market in Word by making it better than its competitors, it got the market because it made sure that the competitors' software would not run on their OS. That's not competition, that's just bulshitting.

So, a failure rate over 50% is a success story? I never knew!

They definitely dominated the competition in the "most kits returned with faults" category, I think they even won an Oscar on that.
