We are stupid. We just invented the entire concept of the modern aircraft, the liquid rocket ( and gyroscopes and guidence), went to the moon (1969), have the fastest jets in the world (1964), and produced the world's first atomic bomb, the worlds first controled nuclear chain reaction....and loads more .

Sorry Gscholtz, but we have been decades ahead in technology. The Germans copied American rocket technology from the 20's

Do lots of Euros share your pain it was Lance Armstrong- an American, functioning on only one testicle- who walked on the moon first?

Diminish it! Qualify it! Make it less notable because you are an Amerihater!

Yeah, Albert was too inferior to be a German, the Jews didn't really muster up to the German ideal. America and our society are the reasons for our great success while Nazi Germany was a supreme failure.

The fact is that America went to the moon, not Germany or anyone else.

It's been 36 years since America went to the moon and 44 years since Russia first put a man in space.

How many other countries have put a man into space since then? Seems like an elite club......and Germany still isn't in that club, despite their great scientists.

What did your country invent? I can list a lot for America if you want.

Gscholtz, the only time I ever respond and defend my country is when I see someone trying to bash it in some way.... I don't try to diminish any other country's achievments or way of life, until I see somone doing that against mine.

The thing that set me off here was your statement "you really showed us by inventing, bla bla bla......

I looked at that statement and laughed thinking about what you meant by "us".

yeah, Russian probe crashed into the moon a few years before America put men on the moon and returned them to earth. No comparison in technological achievment.

Actually it was full reversing rudder deflections not just a one time full rudder.
Here is an exert from the official NTSB report:

This aircraft experienced high lateral loads associated with reversing rudder movements during the 1997 accident.

There is quite a difference in what you said above.
