i enjoy visits to the MSFC Space Center in huntsville and KSC in florida. the US has emphasized and monetarily rewarded benane and trivial athleticism and "entertainment" fetes as the Rossiyans are again making the greater strides to the stars. bush constantly slashed the NASA budget (he despised NASA) as he rewarded halliburton and its iraq disaster and thus bankrupted the US treasury. he also had great rewards for his ceo financial wall street friends as they were also republican deregulated.

TO THE STARS!

Karolev, who was older than von Braun, was advanced in rocketry over Von Braun and the Rossiyans were shooting rockets at the fascist forces before Von Braun ever could launch any against the allied targets. Sputnik was fearful to the US, not because of the satellite itself, but that it proved that the Rossiyans had
