Rust is iron oxide.  Metals corrodde, but only Iron rusts.  You guys should take a break from all this politics and take some time to learn some basic science.

Well seeing as I've just done a GCSE in Chemistry...Steel is an alloy of Iron, and as i said only Iron rusts.  Would it sound better coming from Nema?

Stainless steel doesn't rust easily, but that's beside the point.  The rockets would be made out of aluminium and titanium mainly I expect.  I'll make it simple for you: only Iron and its alloys can rust, as rust is Iron Oxide.  An alloy of Iron would be a metal which is a mixture of Iron, and other elements, e.g. Steel.

Well I boubt they make them out of Iron, which would fall apart, and as Iron is the only metal that can rust...

Seeing how steel contains iron ....this was a silly statement.

Seeing as how most metals are alloys and contain some iron... this was a silly statement.

Seeing as how "rust" isnt the only form of corrosion and that many other metals have their own form of corrosion... this was a silly statement.

I guess thatst what i am trying to say... you statement didnt make any sense

Wow.. Found this

"ONG KONG, China (Reuters) -- China has kicked off war games simulating an invasion of Taiwan as military chief Jiang Zemin vows to recover the democratic island by 2020.

The week-long land, sea and air exercises started on Dongshan island off China's southeastern coast in the first half of July after months of preparation, Hong Kong's Ta Kung Pao newspaper said.

About 18,000 troops are taking part in the exercises, which will aim for the first time to demonstrate air superiority in the Taiwan Strait, the newspaper said.

China believes Taiwan President Chen Shui-bian will push for formal statehood after winning a second four-year term in March and is preparing for a possible showdown with the island, which Beijing has claimed since their split at the end of the Chinese civil war in 1949.

The period "before or after 2020 is the time to resolve the Taiwan issue," military chief and ex-Communist Party chief Jiang told a recent expanded meeting of the Central Military Commission, the decision-making body of the People's Liberation Army (PLA), the Wen Wei Po newspaper said.

The meeting also approved military, political, logistics and armament development plans over an unspecified period for the 2.5-million-strong PLA, the newspaper said. It gave no details.

Western military analysts have said booming China wants to avoid conflict with Taiwan if possible, but tension has been simmering and the PLA is preparing for worst-case scenarios.

Taiwan's Chen appears determined to adopt a new constitution in 2008, a move Beijing sees as a formal declaration of independence and which it has warned could lead to war.

Taiwan's leaders are betting China will not attack and jeopardize surging economic growth, seen as necessary to create jobs, avert social unrest and perpetuate Communist Party rule.

The island's leaders believe the United States would rush to its rescue, especially after President George W. Bush's pledged early in his term to do whatever it takes to help the island defend itself.

Western analysts said Taipei may be miscalculating Beijing's resolve and that Washington has no desire to be dragged into a conflict with China over Taiwan.

In Washington, Pentagon officials said a crisis-simulation drill based on a growing Chinese military threat to Taiwan was played out this week by U.S. decision makers.

The exercise, called Dragon's Thunder, was held on Monday at the Pentagon's National Defense University.

Taiwan, seen by many security analysts as the most dangerous flashpoint in the Asia-Pacific region, topped the agenda when U.S. national security adviser Condoleezza Rice met Chinese leaders in Beijing last week."

If China wants to attack, now is the opportune time. In a few years, the United States will have finished with Iraq and will have reassigned its forces. As things are now, the US is stretched a tad thin with a large number of its infantry forces, air support reserves, and Naval forces in the Gulf region. If China launched a surprise attack now and took Taiwan, the United States would be hard-pressed to save the island.

Perhaps you haven't heard, but the US Navy has already sent no less than seven carrier groups to the Taiwan strait. Such a massive deployment of forces is unheard of, even in wartime - and this isn't wartime (yet).

As a result of the US Navy deployment, China has announced that they have been reminded of the weakness of their own navy, and they promised to embark on a crash course to make it as powerful as the US Navy within 10 years.

Another job well done for US diplomacy... ::)
