Actually, it was Loral, Hughes and Boeing who made the unfortunate transfers of tech, and they were brought to task by the Justice Department for it. Last I heard Loral had ponied up $20 million in fines. |
If you dig into this a little (sorry, I can't seem to find my link) L,H & B got the nod from people in the Clinton admin who, knowing what a control freek Slick Willy is, would have had to get permission from the boss. When said people got cought with their hand in the cookie jar, somebody had to pay the piper and you know it wouldn't be the Whitehouse sluggs. :-?

What I heard through my own aerospace sources, and I never saw reported in the media, was that China was having nosecone issues- issues in the form of their nosecones flying apart into tiny little pieces when they hit the upper atmosphere. I have never been able to reliably confirm this.

Yes. I'd heard that the nose cone designs are what spilled the beans for L, H & B and the Clintonians.

Personally, I allowing China *ANY* presence, much less any sort of control, at the Panama Canal was a bigger strategic blunder than anything to do with rockets.

You have my absolute agreement that having any Chines control at Panama is a
REALLY BAD IDEA. Whether it's worse than the missle guidence thing......???????? Who knows?
