yes way ahead of most nations and rivals... years ahead with Mars landings and Mars robots but lets look at the reality, no direction or 'vision' since the death of JFK, not really that much ahead anymore, pay Russia for lifts to the space station, could not build a lunar base tomorrow, no manned space flight ability, others are catching up in robotics or manned space flight abilities. https://voat.co/v/AskVoat/2950424/15907038 its all knee jerk reactions to the npc programming. People dont think. People dont want to be challenged, they want confirmation. In simple little titles. They dont want to read the articles. They will upvoat any title that appears to agree with their worldview, facts be damned /u/SoldDownRiver since Bush and the loss of Shuttle the manned program needs new directions

I never said anything about Russia lol. But if you want to have that conversation it's undeniable we are far far ahead of them in the space race. And they are far far ahead of everyone else next to us. They have old shuttles that Ferry people to the space station. We have spacecraft that are 13.2 billion miles away from Earth.
