Funny thing about not having to dump $250.00 a month on health insurance; you can actually afford a dentist. You must be thinking of the English but, to them, it's a cultural thing

Dentist is actually the extremely cheap part of my insurance. It's all covered and a few bucks a month.

True, but the Civil Rights Act of 1964 would go in that category too. Good and bad came out of it.

Another thing, the phrase is "Our Germans are better than their Germans". They didn't say jack about Canadians.

I would like you tell anyone from NASA during that time frame that JFK didn't want to go to the moon. Seriously, this is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. JFK wanted us on the moon first. He wanted bad. He was a huge advocate for NASA. The moon was a pipe dream for NASA til it became a presidential mandate.

I know that JFK wanted to go to the moon, but it takes more than that. If JFK hadn't been killed Congress most likely would have cut funding for the program long before we made it there though. JFK wanting to go to the moon so badly carried more weight after his death than it ever would have if he were alive. The legacy of a dead President carries more sway than the words of a live President.

Never would have happened without Von Braun. Not in a million years. A shame we don't have a modern analog, although rutan is getting close

The X-Prize helped, I think, but didn't go far enough. It didn't create a spark for ongoing development.
