Default Re: It Was Space Technology

Loral did break the law afterwards (but again they did not "sell secret technology", some of their engineers wrote a report to help with the missle launches that included classifed material),

So giving "classified material" is just the equilvalent of a parking ticket. The news stories I heard said that before Loral Space, the Chi-Coms kept losing satellites because they couldn't keep them in orbit. After their dealings with Loral Space, the Chinese had the technology to keep their satellites in orbit. Sounds like the bought classified technology to me...
