Another Thing the U.S.A. Can't Be Faded On
Trauma-san:
It's pretty simple folks: The United States has made far more accomplishments in the field of Space Exploration, end of story. We were the first and only on the moon, we've been at the forefront of all modern space exploration, etc. I'm sorry Eidilon doesn't want to believe it, but the Russians didn't get shit accomplished, it was a race, and we beat their ass. We're still 40 years ahead.

You shouldn't forget to mention that in those 40 years between then en now,the U.S. hasn't really achieved very much in the way of Space Exploration.40 Years and still not further then the moon.

Well, we figured since we whipped everybody's ass on it, we'd just lay on our laurels for a while. China is our closest competition, and they're doing things we did 40 years ago. Once they get, oh, within 20 years of us, or something similar, maybe we'll go to mars.
BTW, the U.S. has done tons of things since then, it's just foriegners can't really understand the technology, it's a united states thing. The Hubble telescope was one, for instance.

Sounds like the well-known "I knew that but I just asked you to know if you knew it as well" in comedies.
Your whole last post reads like this:
"We ain't doin' anything because.......uh......we want uh...... the others to catch up with us!......Yeah that's it!....uh...But I promise we'll go further then,I promise!

i dont care who goes to space, as longs we can get there, get better tech from it.. and expand our knowledge.. and hopefuly put colonies out there so if disaster does nuke earth.. maybe somewhere else will be survivors :)
