[FPSPACE] US leading in space

[Phillip Clark]

One area where the USA definitely leads in space is the frequency that piloted launches get scrubbed with the crew on board.

That last time that this happened for Russia was in the Soviet days, when Soyuz 10 got delayed in April 1971.

    Name an arena of achievement, and the US probably leads.

  Man hours in space, number of modules attached together in orbit, launches per year, most powerful rocket, longest manned mission ...I could go on, but why?
