Comment Re:Sounds promising (Score 1) 362

From what I read in Russian analytics reports, rebels are unlikely to have this done independently from their Saudi supporters. Moreover by simple logic of "who would have benefited the most from the chemical attack", one can easily conclude that the Saudi intelligence forces were likely to be involved. The Saudi either directly helped the rebels to deploy and use the chemical weapons, or bribed some traitors in Syrian forces to pull the trigger. A few million dollars would surely do the trick. A few million dollars could easily make rebels gas themselves too.

What's Saudi interest in here? They clearly tried to manipulate US to attack Syria and as a result endanger upcoming US-Iranian talks. Both Iran and Syria would lose in case of the US attack, and Israel together with Saudi Arabia would benefit the most.

If we do become a space faring people to future generations he will likely be the best remembered American. Name anyone that accomplished anything greater in the last 200+ years? There is only one person in all of human history that will be remembered as the first person to step foot on another world. Even to this day it's likely the greatest accomplishment of us as a species let alone as a nation.

I doubt that the space faring people would forget Yuri Gagarin.
