Yeah, exactly. Why are we picking on Americans all of a sudden? It's the Italians that are dying in droves, with the most beautiful art work in the world hanging on walls every where. Or the French with the most fattening food in the world on plates all across the country. Or the UK with...oh, never mind. What a frigging bunch of morons they are.
When we take in the possibilities into the comparisons we see the clearer picture of the situations.
Forget the capability. Americans in large numbers have left that behind.

As is the case with all other populations.

So, which bolt did you wrench on the shuttle? Which brick did you touch?
Claims, like certain body parts, is common in all of us.

What did the Space Shuttles have to do with going to the moon?

I guess I'm going to have to give up sarcasm on line.
There is no doubt in my mind that there are more fat Americans than French folk. I don't think Americans eat more fattening food, they just eat more food. I'm an example of that.
The point I was trying to make is that it takes a certain intelligence to create recipes for fine dining. Just as it takes a certain intelligence to create the most beautiful art in the world. Just as it takes a certain intelligence to get to the moon and safely back.
I was agreeing with the earlier poster who doesn't think it's right to call Americans stupid any more than to call Italians or French folk stupid. Although there are certainly enough stupid people in each population and every population.

You'd have to eat a hell of a lot of lettuce to
reach the profound gross difference in between the USA and France noted in the World Health Organizations "Body Mass Index" table.

Try doing ethnic jokes.
Stupidity vs Intelligence is separated by a pivot point. Imagine a see-saw with the two on opposite seats. It swings like any balance does with the propensity by weight. As does life. If you will, a global game of Rugby.
Do enjoy.

If the weights are equal and there are no other forces the see-saw will not swing.
If the weights are different and there are no other forces the see-saw will not swing.
Your analogy has the credibility of a 3 sided square old boy.

I could get in more trouble than I could ever hope to get out of with ethnic jokes...A Rabbi, a Catholic Priest and a young boy go to a Milk bar...NAH!!!

Part of the plans to put man on the moon.
I was tempted to use the V2, but that would go over a lot of folks' heads. (The Space program spans over a century or more.)
Jules Verne in 1865.<--For consideration.

I do believe it is staged. Photoshop can do anything.

Sure. But you've got everything out of sequence, the space shuttles post dated the Apollo program by several years and were never intended to leave earth orbit, and were never capable of leaving earth orbit, except of course, to return to earth. Their wings were designed to work in air. They couldn't have worked in a Moon atmosphere or lack thereof, even if there was a way to get them to the Moon.
The Apollo program was a much more difficult effort despite the fact that the equipment was much more primitive.
Jules Verne was a forward thinking author with an incredible imagination. But he had no concept of the technologies that would be needed to see his visions come to fruition.
The V-2 would have been a better analogy.

As in Photography, the shot is not the start nor the end of the process involved in getting the shot. Actuality is not a series of stills.
