The Internet isn’t

It’s a small world…. living within a quantum particle of the rest of the world.

Space is huge.

Apparently the Soviets sent an unmanned probe to the moon (Luna 16?) at the same time as the United States sent the manned Apollo 11. The History Channel is doing another in its’ long series of “Soviet vs. USA ” history shows. Showing once again that the people of the Soviet Union were able to accomplish amazing things but the effort was wasted by their government due to the usual Cold War shenanigans.

Politics before safety… more people died during the development of the Russian space program, on the ground & in space, than the USA. Of course, I’m watching a show on Soviet space disasters so that’s not a surprise.
