Of America that we have slight bulbs in almost every house it is because of America planes fly through the air everyday!! This great nation has brought freedom to many people for example America fought

@wishmolly Coming from former soviet union country I can assure you that Russia's interest in good of mankind is an oxymoron.

[Cloyde100]

Nations are well aware that whoever controls space controls Earth.

[weathercast100]

@wishmolly And how is china any different?? or russia?? every country on this planet puts theyre own intrests before the worlds, because everyone on this Earth has different interests. The U.S. may be the most involved nation, but it is also the most lenient in the world, wich unfortunatly has made us weak. A communist nation is the prime xample of what controle and oppresion are. They, as well as any other country, will use theyre supremacy to better themselve, not the world. its human nature.

@DeeCiii Exactly. Some of the morons who have commented need to take a look around. If the US doesn't try to dominate space China will.

[ritwikbanerjee]

at 6:30, we get "benevolent nation like the united states" .... amusing to say the least.

[AllTerroristsMustDie]

First of all, going to the ChiCom government for some kind of "expert" or "unbiased" opinion regarding the US' right to defend itself is kind of like turning to Iran to lead the UN's committee on international women's rights. Oh, wait...!

Second, Kucinich is a complete and utter buffoon and madman.

Third, LONG LIVE THE GLORIOUS HOLY AMERICAN EMPIRE OF LIBERTY! Damn straight we should dominate space - at least we TRY to uphold some morals whereas Russia & China don't care at all!
