The Chinese have a rover on Mars and on the moon as we speak.
Germany flies a rocket for just 30 seconds right here on earth and they think they’ve done something great.
This may have been something in 1960 not in 2025.

The rocket was pinning for the fjords.

They expected it to crash a few seconds after launch?

It was just an unscheduled disassembly.

In the the 1960s, in their spare time, NASA engineers built personal hifi amplifiers and ham radios.

In the 2000s, NASA engineers sit in the basement playing World of Warcraft or watching porn.

That was Version 1 of the rocket. Just wait until the Germans launch V2.

Last night the wife and I went out and watched the I.S.S. Fly by.
An hour later we went out to watch a launch from the Cape carrying
4 folks going around the poles.
Hey Europe ha ha.
