>to avoid making a significant impact on society as a whole
I would hardly call launching the first satellite into space, followed by the first man in space, followed by the first unmanned Moon landing, followed by the first space station a result without a significant impact on society. That's with respect to Russia.
Further, if you look at the list of Nobel prize winners, China and Russia are right up there, making huge, positive impact on the society.
- neilc 19y agoWith respect to Nobel laureates, the US has ~304, Russia has 22, and China has 5. In what sense are China and Russia "right up there", particularly on a per-capita basis? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nobel_laureates_by_country http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nobel_laureates_by_country
- osipov 19y agointeresting...I did a search too and came up with a different source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Worldmapnobellaureatesbycountry.PNG http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Worldmapnobellaureatesbyc... Trouble is, I can't finding the right page on the official Nobel site that would confirm/deny the information on wikipedia.
- copenja 19y agoI think both are correct. Your link indicates that USA has 50+ and Russia has between 15-24.
