Europe has all the money of America then some.

As I see it the EU combined is richer than the US, so there should be funding for the organisation to do just as much if not more than NASA.

These things are worth developing! A Euro station would give us the real advantage. The international space station will be fought over in too many directions, and we won't have any real control over it.

Here it is. This needs to get made if Europe is serious about space, and not just commercial satalite launcing.

Yep it looks great. But if we are to steal a march from America we will need a space station and/or a shuttle.

Why not use PMs? (top right).

I want a KA-60 to give the Russians a light transport helicopter. Or an unarmed Mi-8. I am sick of having to deploy a small Spetznaz team by an Mi-17 with six rocket pods!

The solution obviously lies in the total freedom of Palestine and the Palestinian people (as their lack of freedom is the cause of the violence). As Israel has proved that they are incapable od treating the Palestinian population propperly then a UN force must be deployed to keep peace and to seperate the two peoples. The problem arises when Israel and America refuse to allow a third party in. The solution wont come untill Israel swallows It's pride and realises that their Army can't and never will provide a solution. It may take an act of sickening violence to finaly bring the two sides to the table, like the Omagh bombing in N.Ireland. Northern Ireland isn't 'normalised' yet but it is a big improvement from the sixties.
