Won't happen if we learn robotics. Some of the kids are learning robotics.

Disagree. Robotics relies heavily on software engineering and the ability to actually build something. America seems bound and determined to ensure only Indians can do that.

Now, inventing new kinds of ways to sue each other might be our path to salvation. :~/

Yes, you are exactly correct. But with the new NASA goals, robotics will see a strong emphasis. Robotics is not new, but it is seeing a rebirth now. The space race will be a robotics race, in fact, space exploration has been mainly robotics for quite a while, but it will be even more so as we build a manned base on the moon and then on Mars--using robotics. When the base is built by robotics and ready, then we will go there and occupy the station.
