Western society is a collection of billions of people and millions of groups of people, who actually do things. Why give the collective credit for what those who actually accomplished something did? NASA and it's blind supporters have a nasty habit of taking credit for great accomplishments that they had little to do with. Not surprisingly it happens the most under Democrat administrations.
You’re telling me NASA didn’t send people to the moon. You’re telling me NASA didn’t operate the world’s most expensive paperweight (Shuttle).
