    You are saying that these things are bad things. I’m not saying they aren’t. I’m saying Americans achieve things. Americans are fucking tough. Also, I will argue that you couldn’t pop a pimple of truth on this statement: “he moon landing was a cool thing that happened 50 years ago and produced no real tangible benefits”.

    Oh, by golly, are you wrong. Oh, by golly, are you wrong.

      These lists are completely disingenuous. Just because something was the first use case doesn’t mean it was the only use case for a thing.

      For example. Freeze dried food. It’s completely impossible to say we would not have freeze dried food without the space program.
