" We Made It " - Voyager 1 leaves Solar sytem

The USA deserves credit for putting together a set of minds and people. The "people" in this regard is international. Two of the biggest player in rocket science is Wernher von Braun and Qian Xuesen. This sum up beautifully, "The American journal Aviation Week & Space Technology would name Qian its Person of the Year in 2007, and comment on his interrogation of von Braun, "No one then knew that the father of the future U.S. space program was being quizzed by the father of the future Chinese space program."


USA was founded as a nation of European immigrants - so they should be considered American. The Chinese, Jamaicans, etc are largely insignificant in American scientific achievement compared to the ones from Europe. .. Yeah they can be considered international.
 
By the way, I want to emphasize this clearly for people to understand. The USA deserved credit for putting world wide talent together but American is not an ethnicity. The USA and Soviet gain enormous amount of scientific and technical expertise from Nazi German, thus the so called Operation Paperclip, Operation Alsos, to name a few, to accelerate these two countries post-World War into a superpower. Rocketry is an invention of ethnic Nazi German and Ethnic Han Chinese.

LOL The USA recruited and forced Nazi German scientists, physicians, intellectuals, and engineers and these people are Nazi member. Let not kid ourselves that these people want to immigrate to America. They were force and imprison, giving a special identity to work under US govt.

As for achievement, obviously our Ethnic Chinese population is small relative to European immigrant to America. But giving our ratio population, we contribute immensely in the US's scientific achievement, namely Qian Xuesen for rocketry and his cousin Roger Tsien in chemistry, Steven Chu, Samuel Ting in Physics. Not to mention, half of the America's Math and Physics Olympiad candidates are Ethnic Chinese. We also build railroad in America. Outside of Jew and German, we are probably the 2nd most accomplished minority in the USA.

US was the most powerful economy post WW1, and was already a significant global player. When the US joined the war, Churchill said "we have won". A few captured scientists makes little difference, especially when the Jews were at the forefront of many scientific fields in Germany, they came willingly.

USA is the only country in the world with that much diversity. They get bright minds from all around the globe yea but it will be considered America's achievement. But you know what every one can say "WE made it" Because it is something that's done for humanity not just for Americans. When they stepped on moon they said" One small step for man one giant leap for mankind and not Americans"

Unfortunately, the one you capture happened to be a Nazi German Wernher von Braun who was the US's father of rockery and the reason the US beat the Soviet space race.

LOL, you must be joking if you believe Nazi German didn't contribute to American's military, scientific, and technological powess.

Rocketry is an invention of ethnic Nazi German and Ethnic Han Chinese.

The Slovenian rocket engineer Herman Potocnik (1892-1929) envisaged correctly all the phases of the flight around the planet Earth already in the first half of the previous century in his book Das problem der Befahrung des Weltraums (The Problem of Space Travel), published in 1929 in Berlin. In 1963 the well-known German-American rocket scientist Wernher von Braun confirmed Potocnik's original invention.

Herman Potocnik

His book, published in 1929 was like an instruction manual to early NASA and Russian engineers.
 
Steven hawkings mind already roams the outer space!

My friend, Herman Potocnik is one of the founder or you can say, father of astronautics, the study of space travel and human exploration. In other words, theoretical work of science and technology. A modern technologist and visionary as you might say in his time. But he didn't invent the mechanics or rocket mechanism to actually putting a rocket in real use. That's Von Braun and Xuesen responsibility.

He had some influence on von Braun but in no way, shape or form, considered the father of modern rocketry. Don't make people laugh with that notion.

And speaking of going into space, our ancient ancestor had that thought dating back to 1500s during Ming Dynasty. An official by the name of Wan Hu even attempt to use rocket technology at the time with Gun Powder to lift himself off his flying vehicle. Little do we know, he ended up dead in that attempt.
 
Just imagine! it's taken 36 years for a spacecraft to leave the Solar System traveling at 1.6 million km per day! Now check out this video. It's just mind blowing. Yes! The universe is so huge it's incomprehensible! Trillions upon trillions of galaxies, each with billions of star systems and ours is just one miniscule part of our galaxy somewhere in the nondescript outer periphery of one of the galaxy's spiral arms.

Here...Enjoy....(This is just the KNOWN universe. Also don't forget to read the descriptions on the top and bottom edges of the screen).


And Voyager has just left the Solar System after 36 years traveling at more than 70,000 kmh!!! :woot:

kisi alien ka baaap bhi invade nahi ker sakta earth ko :nana:

Where did i say he was the father?
I was only pointing out he had influence through his book on space programmes of both USA and Russia and that not all contributions were from nazi Germany and some Chinese dude you are propagating here, while everyone knows Chinese rockets are Russian originated.

And spare me the fireworks attempts of ancient times, this is not a thread for that.
 
There's no need to turn this nice thread into a A v/s B war.

All scientific progress builds upon earlier work. There is no doubt that Voyager is the achievement of NASA but they were gracious enough to acknowledge the "shoulders of giants" and mark it as an achievement for all humanity.
