You can tell the Confederate Space Station from the International Space Station because it's the one with a rusting Ford Torino up on blocks in front.

No the Confederate Space Station would be completely finished, making a profit, and providing a service, as it would more than likely have been privately funded. The ISS is over budget, hardly working, and a sinkhole for taxpayers' dollars, as it is a government project. And one thing you can thank the Whigs Republicans for is the mistaken belief that government should be in the business of providing 'internal improvements' for subjects citizens of the State

A country that had to have a firm in New York City print its currency could accomplish that? Somehow, I don't think so.

I'm no Southern basher, but the Confederacy never had a chance. Its government structure was tailor made for chaos, and I'm sure the Confederate Congress would still be arguing over some bill brought up in 1870.
