    No, reflectors were send with lunar probes.

    Why do you insult me now? Just because i dont believe this fairy tale?

    So you admit you were wrong.

    You claimed that Germany landed on a comet. I said it was a collaborative effort, including NASA. You said:

    I pointed you to rosettas own website which said
    You doubled down.

    Then when pressed you demanded to know what NASA contributed. I told you some of the collaberation, dating back to the 80s, and the specific devices we built for the collaboration. I then linked you to NASA's page on the project, which states, in part:
    And now, sadly, after being exposed as ignorant on the subject and too prideful to admit being wrong, are trying to suggest (without any support at all) that our collaboration is essentially a wash because we use some mystical german equipment sometimes?

    Surely an arbiter with a 1.4 grade has taken some sort of logic, and can recognize when they have lost, logically.

    Just say you were wrong dude. Earn some of the respect you demand from those you claim are inferior.

    I did not know 3 instruments were from NASA.

    And what mystical equipment? Your Mars Rovers Curiosity has its Radiation Assesment Detector from us, build in Kiel.

    Why don’t you call Wettzell fundamental station, Bavaria, Germany? Ask them on the phone how many retroreflectors are on the moon, how many are American and how did they end up there?

    And I apologize for calling you that. :)

    So you were wrong. You probably weren't aware of these contributions to philae either
    Not exactly a "German exlusive" project was it?

    Of course you still have not accepted that we created, and in the interest of science openly collaborated this mission, but opted not to head it because it was cost prohibitive for the yeild. We did a lot more than provide a few devices. We architechted it, and you guys assembled and flew it, with our help... and still managed to **** it up... but hell, failures happen, and there were a great number of successes which might prove imperative in preventing a disaster from a planet killing asteroid in the future... so thumbs up! Great job... and you're welcome.

    Now say you were wrong so we can move on.

    No USA (NASA) in the list, however.

    An interesting omission to be sure, but already linked and substantiated by sources stronger than wikipedia.

    Tiangong-1: Defunct China space lab comes down over South Pacific

    China's defunct Tiangong-1 space lab mostly broke up on re-entering the Earth's atmosphere above the South Pacific, Chinese and US reports say.

    It re-entered the atmosphere at 00:16 GMT on Monday, astronomer Jonathan McDowell tweeted

    Ended up being unexciting, as usual for this sort of event. Seems like they always burn up over some remote stretch of ocean.

    Just returned from that remote stretch of ocean today, and it matters.

    Some parts of it will survive re-entry. Rocket engines are designed to withstand the temperatures comparable to that of re-entry, and they'll probably survive. Unfortunately the CNSA didn't plan this and doesn't have control of the station, but luckily it's not supposed to land anywhere where you'll find people.

    As for the question about who has the best space program....well that can be answered with one picture.

    It's really sad when you think about it. There are more Americans who have walked on the moon than Germans who have been in space, and all of them were on Russian or American built space craft.

    He was abducted from USA by the end of the war.

    Beside that you are on ignore now. The picture where he walks on the moon show stage shows your fake space program.

    If by abducted you voluntarily surrendered and asked for passage out of the country, then sure he was abducted. Gotta hit them where it hurts.

    Means next to nothing to me.

    I don't much care who has or has not been in space.

    There are other things that concern me more about the world...a LOT of other things.

    Quite the opposite, I stand for truth. I never accused you of being a holocaust denier. That was another user. You don't seem to understand that I recognized the successes of Rosetta, while pointing out the disappointments of philae, as well as its successes. You don't take criticism well, nor do you share credit for much. If a German immigrant has success in the US, you claim their achievement, not recognizing that their success was only possible in America, or that we are a nation of immigrants. That people from all over the world, not just war torn muslim nations, flock here because of the opportunities available. You act as if these opportunities are coincidental of our existence and not because of. You forget that it was I who corrected another user when they claimed Germany was not the source of the first computer. I am well aware of the science and engineering prowess of Germany. I love working with German engineers and developers because their work is so efficient and logical... their code reads clean and brilliantly. I don't find them to be generally inspired or creative, outside of innovative solutions, but that is anecdotal. Germany has much to be proud of. I am not convinced you are an example of it.

    Did you claim that the Apollo missions were hoaxed? Try not to go off the deep end there, buddy.
