The NASA went to the moon because the russians wanted to do it.
Today's space exploration is shaped by cooperation, but sometimes a little bit of competition is needed to achive great thinks.
This is why i'm really hoping for the chinese to announce a manned mission to mars. It's the red planet afterall ;), and this could be a modern sputnik shock for the NASA.
- drjesusphd 12y agoSputnik had military implications. Going to Mars doesn't.
- frakturfreund 12y agoThat’s a valid point. But Sputnik had also a component of harmed pride (›most advanced nation‹); at least this should be reproducible.
