<p class="MsoNormal">Yesterday they showed "Moonraker" in German TV. Somehow the X-37B reminded me of it because it is an unmanned Space Shuttle. I believe that unmanned drones are in fact that best way to explore the Solar System.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">As a European I don't see a real purpose in militarizing space. After all the World Wars we don't need a "Space War" IMHO. Today we have an extra holiday in Berlin by the way, because May 8 is the anniversary of the end of WWII for the
