I had just started my engineering career and was working for Raytheon Company in Goleta. When Sputnik was launched and we were listening to the 'beep,' 'beep.' We were in shock. How did this happen? How could it be? Maybe we were jealous, but maybe, just maybe a lot of the American people knew that we should and could be doing better. Another factor could be fear that we were losing in space and could become vulnerable as a nation and as a people. It is much better that now a space station is a bonifide cooperative effort. There is still a world of wonders out there. Do me a favor and think of your gpr while you are working with them. Georges,

Thanks for sharing. You may be witness to a new space race. There are many private companies that are working on going into space funded by Billionaires that believe governments have failed in pursuing a space effort. Meanwhile China is working on their own moon mission and the Russians just announced they are also re-building their own space program. In a way it makes me sad that we are all pursuing individual efforts into space instead of working together. The International Space Station was all about cooperation - and has worked well. If governments could agree to work together on going to the moon - it would be a world-wide unifying event... I love it! Thanks for sharing. You may be witness to a new space race.
