You, unfortunatly, are proof positive that the UGLY american is still in existance. Not only are you bombastic and offensive, you are also unable to use the english language correctly. No one has displayed any jingoism in this discussion of the US space program/ NASA except yourself. Most of the comments are simply an honest and open discussion of the strenghts and weakness of NASA and it's management (or lack thereof). The other parts of this newsgroup (relating to you) are a reaction to your continous stream of boorish comments. I have seen little in anyone's mail (including the private mail that you seem to like to publish), in which any Canadian is attempting to show that Canada is the greatest nation on earth and has the world's state of the art space program - as the word "jingoism" implies. Most of the discussion as been around the point that any non-Americian has the right to discuss NASA's difficulties as much as any Americian and that Canada has contributed to the Space Program as well. If you wish to discuss this further, please move to talk.bizarre, as the rest of us would like to read articles concerning the subject we're here to discuss in the first place - SPACE and SPACE.SHUTTLES, not your inability to articulate in an intelligent interchange of ideas.
