"Well Im afraid its an analogy which has proven true in the past. "
One data point is not enough to draw a graph.
"When the Russians-first to place a satellite into space with the dog "Laika".....There was near pandemonium in the States.
Many thousands of people cleared the shelves of
food tins and loaded up their vehicles ready for a quick get-a-way. "Yes, and when the Chinese put their first man in orbit the small percentage of the public that was aware of it yawned.
The point I was making was the idea that the U.S. and China are engaged in a "space race" is simply not true. No American (or Russian) space policy is being driven by Chinese actvities. Only India (another middle-weight power, like China) perceives any sense of "competition" with the Chinese space program.
"Not that a true believer in the Space race should worry about headlines, one way or another.
The operative words are 'The community of Man, Homo Sapiens , will be up there, who ever they maybe' "A true believer should read the actual article rather than just scanning the headlines. And my operative words are "Once you're in orbit, you're half-way to anywhere."
