Space travel is a better accelerator for technology than war

I kind of have a problem with this idea, Vinay. While the technological breakthroughs made in space research are indeed amazing, most of them came from the Cold War era "Space Race", which was a direct result of our conflict with the Soviets. You'll notice that since the end of the Cold War, the amount of interest and funding for space exploration has grinded to a crawl. Civil space exploration, while promising, has amounted to not much more than 'pot shots' compared to the momentum NASA had in it's hayday. Hopefully China's recent efforts will give us enough of a kick in the pants to re-initiate our programs. Once again, it won't be in the sprit of cooperation, but in competition.

moved Gupta State Failure Management Archive

Hi Vinay,

I have been organizing the content on Appropedia. To that end I have temporarily moved Gupta State Failure Management Archive to your userspace, because it is not clear to me what information it is presenting or how it can be used. Thanks. --Ethan (talk) 18:56, 13 November 2015 (PST)
