What is MARSOC?
MARSOCs primary roles are Direct Action, Special Reconnassance, and Foreign internal defense. Their other roles are Counter-terroism, Information operations, and Unconventional warfare. No their not as highly trained as DEVGRU or Delta Force but their still highly trained Marines.
What are the space crafts in space presently?
The only manned space craft is the international space station which is in earth orbit. There are countless earth-orbitting satellites, most of them are there for communication (telephones etc.). Notable artificial satellites are the Hubble Space Telescope and the Kepler Space Telescope. The Lunar Reconnassance Orbiter takes super-high resolution images of the moon, perhaps in preparation for future manned missions. Also there is the Chinese Chang'e 2 probe. As for other planets, we have the Venus Express orbiter around Venus and the MESSENGER spacecraft orbitting Mercury. On Mars there is the 2001 Mars Odyssey orbiter, Mars Express, Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter and Mars Global surveyor. In the asteroid belt there is the Dawn spacecraft and several others. There are no spacecraft orbitting Jupiter, the last one being Galileo which was sent to burn up in the Jovian atmosphere so the erase the possibility of contaminating the moon Europa, which may have sub-surface oceans with life. Saturn has one orbiter, the Cassini spacecraft which primarily studies Saturn's moons, particularly Titan and it dropped at landing probe called Huygens to it's surface in 2005. No spacecraft orbit Uranus or Neptune, but the New Horizons probe is heading towards Pluto and will arive in 2015. 4 probes are beyond that, Pioneer 10, Pioneer 11, Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 which all observed the outer planets about 40 years ago. There are also numerous spacecraft that orbit the sun, but all of the major ones have been listed here.
What should the US do currently with their policies in Afghanistan and Iraq?
Utilize the right tool for the job; then follow these three simple rules: 1. Study the enemy. 2. Conduct a reconnassance (intelligence gathering). 3. Equipment one's self for the mission. Law enforcement (the police) found out a long time ago, that when patrolling the streets in a marked police car and wearing nice pretty uniforms; the bad guys just ducked (hid), waited for the cops to depart...then resurfaced again to continue their bad deeds. Then law enforcement decided to "fight fire with fire." They'd go under-cover ("plainclothes" it was called/then in the 1960's it was called "going dirty"). Once officers went under-cover, they began to take the "big boys" down. These tactics were the "right tools for the job." Just driving around town in a police car (HUMVEE) wearing all that armor (Kevlar helmets, bulletproof vest, night vision goggles, super dooper weapons that shoot around corners, etc...) only gets the bad guys who are either: 1. Unlucky to get caught in the open 2. Decoys (which of course leads to ambushes) 3. Or just plain suicidal. After Vietnam came all these fancy .50 caliber sniper rifles, sniper schools, sniper movies, sniper patches, sniper hats, and sniper books; accompanying them were Green Berets this and SEAL's that...along with them were the Delta Force commandoes...and the Rangers, and the LRRPS (Long Range Reconnaissance Patrols) and the ARPs (Aerial Rifle Platoons). These are the right tools for the jobs at hand in Iraq and Afghanistan. All those fancy weapons and units can now do some "fancy work" and eliminate those terrorists and insurgents anywhere...anytime! If you wanna kill a tiger; you have to hunt like one!
