wow - was that serious or poorly tasting jest?

I could easily say the same about US sending a man to the moon, it was only to show off against the Russians.. what else did it prove?

They should be spending the money on Health Care.

you could say whatever you want, that doesn't mean it will be correct. While I agree that missions to the moon were probably unproductive, american space exploration has produced some amazing new techologies. Imagine the world without weather satellites, GPS, or communications satellites. Additionally, space exploration has improved solar-power generation, cryogenic technologies, and has caused general advances in physics and other hard sciences. Certainly some of the money could have been better spent on health care or education, however, the benefits of american space exploration are glaringly obvious. There is nothing the Iranians will do anytime soon that will add to human welfare (with respect to space exploration). Furthermore, the US hasn't been a middle of the pack country (like the current iran) during the past 60 years. The US (and other countries) had the resources and minds to accomplish things, by exploring space, that are far greater than a few extra dollars thrown at health care. Iran simply doesn't have the same resources or minds. As a result, those resources would be far better allocated closer to earth's crust.

Oh the minds are there and definitely smarter than the Americans.

One example is for the Mars exploration mission which the Americans failed twice to only bring an Iranian on the third time to get it right his first try.

If America was under the same sanctions Iran is, i doubt they would even be capable to do the same thing adding to the whole "Americans are lazy until they are motivated"

Sure the Iranians are behind but good on them trying to learn the whole thing out rather than 3rd party resources which will do them no good in the long run.

...that we, mankind, could put a man on the moon. things were different back then. the desire to do it was universal. the idea had no political boundries.

evryone knew it could be done but Americans did it because we were the only country in the world that had the knowledge, resources and a snowball's chance to do it.

remember, the Russians beat us to the punch by putting a man in orbit first. why did they do it?
