That's surprising to learn. The US exhibit at Expo 2020 was pretty terrible though. Literally just stand on a treadmill and watch various videos on how awesome America is (and I'm sure there's some snide jokes to be made about the only treadmill-based exhibit being America..) And then afterwards look at some of the cool space stuff we're trying to do. A lot of countries used their exhibits to jerk themselves off - China was guilty of this too. Ironically, the Russian one was pretty cool.
- erie 4y agoI remember being very impressed upon visiting the US stand in the 70s, the cold war was good in showcasing the space rivalry, moon rock box and other artifacts. The USSR pavilion was nearby, and it was the 1970 at the Damascus fair, I was a 10 year old kid then, my dream was to go to the US, but when I visited Silicone Valley in the 2000s I was depressed after meeting some former WIMAX experts who were homeless, asking me for cigarettes, in San Jose. https://www.gettyimages.ae/detail/news-photo/pavilion-at-the-damascus-international-fairgrounds-in-syria-news-photo/514978428 https://www.gettyimages.ae/detail/news-photo/pavilion-at-the...
