OK Jordi you in Europe are way ahead of the US in space technology (extreme sarcasm).

By the way the space shuttle is still the most advanced vehicle to go into space. When the new NASA space vehicle will be launched; your European space program will look like stone age compared to the US and not just 15 to 20 years behind as it is the case now. And tell me again when is Europe going to put a man in space without using Americans or Russians space vehicles? You know even the Chinese got a man in space two years ago!

Go and enjoy your European delusions of greatness somewhere else.

Never said Europe is way ahead in space technology. Just said that now (2005/06 ,not 1969) the US aren't way ahead. Just compare present space activities, neither history nor programs.

If it's annoying for you, it's not my fault.

And the same can be said for your 'delusions or greatness'. Europe and US are are interlinked by history. Remember the father of the US space program was Wernher Von Braun.
