    A singularly American accomplishment and the final signal that the Soviets lost the Space Race.

    Only Americans should look up at the moon because only Americans have ever looked up from the moon.

    Why? Why go to Mars when we have so many problems we aren't dealing with here?

    The advancment of space exploration needs to take a major back burner until we pay off our national debt. And I wonder how much co2 a rocket launch releases inti the atmosphere.

    America is broke we need to stop whipping out the credit card like a Beverly Hills debutante. Yeah if this is a sexist comment based on a stereotype, well sorry, not sorry.
    Yes i pictured her blonde. Still not sorry.

    Yep; immediately that leftist rag began giving the event the Obama treatment with the equivalent of "You did not build that!" and "The accomplishment is meaningless since NASA did not include women and children and transgenders and Islamic Terrorists and so forth!" Screw the Obama style anti-U.S.A. minded New York Times.

    Without Germans, no Saturn V. Its that simple.

    That said Mars is worthless and useless. We should concentrate on the Moon and then Jupiter and Saturn Moons. Mars is a arid, desert waste land.

    To bad Germany exists longer than USA. Infact we got first mentioned from Tacitus in year 30 after Christ.

    So when was america, when we destroyed the Roman Army and later on even took Rome?

    America is full of immigrants.
    I doubt there were too many natives on the project.

    Mars isnt useless....it'll be a stepping stone towards the other planets.

    Without Germans no Saturn rockets? I thought Roswell &Area 51 was responsible for that?

    You've been to Mars? And viewed the landscape?

    Mars has no magnetic field. Its not interesting. The stepping stone is the Moon. From there we learn. Next target asteroid belt. Then Jupiter moons and so on.

    Yup and were utterly destroyed and conquered by all the inferior races that made up the allies. And were it not for America the whole of Mainland Europe would have been under Soviet domination.
    As for Germany accomplishments since ww2. You're welcome we gave you the opportunity.

    It was a badge of honor for us.

    Fun fact for you, Romans used Germanians as guards. The roman emperors did not trust their own. In the late roman empire, the imperial guards were almost completly germans. Since they were taller, more muscular and better fighters than romans.

    That backfired. In the last years, the roman emperors were nothing but hostages of their own guards.

    Let's not forget the Sovs got their Abombs from Klaus Fuchs, AK47, reactive armor, poison gas, Mig15, optics for their jets, etc, from the Krauts.

    Romans used a lot of foreigners as guards back in the day...not just Germanians. Usually happens to captive nations.

    The Germans did the same in both world wars.

    No, they used a exclusive germanic unit as imperial guards for the emperor. In the most inner circle.

    Germany was not a captive nation and that was Rome undoing. The Germans went into rome in and out. Yet Rome had almost no controle over Germania. What happened in Germania was a mystery for them. So Germans kenw Rome. Romans did not know Germania.

    Nope if your attitude is common in Germany it seems like we'll have to squash germany for a 3rd time.

    And no, you did not land a rover on an asteroid. Europe landed one on a comet and japan on a asteroid.
