Somebody asked me why the USA is becoming a failure..
This is what I said about why the USA is a failure.
For one thing, just to put things into perspective, The 1970s wasn't America's golden days in space.. it was our infancy there.
The Apollo 11 mission was our first successful landing on the moon, beating the Russians to the moon.
The fact of the matter is, that the USA has much too much freedom, and nowhere near enough rules, laws, or discipline or oversight, nor are Americans subject to enough absolute and total authority... yes... Americans have too much freedom today... to go into space.
This means that Americans won't answer to somebody that has more knowledge and experience than themselves.
And so our schools can't teach what it takes to do anything amazing like that.
And the places where the schools are that sent people up to space, are in neighborhoods that you might not survive.. because the people that run those schools are too emotionally prepubescent to move to somewhere else.
To work in space, you need to follow ORDERS , do it NOW and do it the WAY they SAY do it, WHEN they say do it, and shut your mouth unless spoken to.
That's the discipline that it takes to be in space.
If something goes wrong on a spaceship today, what you have is a lack of loyalty, a lack of trust, and a brawl going on up there.
And they're all dead.
Too much freedom to choose their behavior at school.
Too much freedom to be religious, and therefore not affirm science, and therefore create a barrier against science.
Too many safety nets against the impact of failure, and therefore no incentive to bounce back up out of failure.
Too much freedom of speech and of the press, this makes them undisciplined in the area of organization and being organized.
PS.. Your rights wont operate a space craft and explore space, against all the thousands of elements against your ability to survive there... following orders from people who know does.
That's why other countries are doing so much better than the USA today, even though most countries don't have a space program, they are getting unimaginably ahead of the USA in other, more earthly technologies, and the USA's space program is receding.
