ORIGINAL: sadja I was overseas at Okinawa, it was around 4am thier. It was a great day for America sorry it got lost in Vietnam,great society and watergate. We should be there now, mining the place and getting even more tech developed to solve the problems. The space program and the military have created more tech than all the copy cat japaneese and chineese ever thought of. Not a racest remark just american culture allows for much more freedom of innovation. sadja You should say any culture with an open free-market economy. During WWII it was the non-facist/non-dictator countries (America, England, etc) that were the only countries able to totally mobilize their economies. And yes, it was a great day for the US (and the world), when they landed on the moon back in 1969. But seems to me that if it hadn't been for a bunch of ex-Nazi German scientists like Werner von Braun it might have been a lot harder than it was.
