- Nonsense. The Russians have built no space stations and are having
- trouble raising the funds to operate the one they inherited from
- the Soviet Union. Comparing what was done by a command economy using
- what amounts to slave labor to what's done in an open society where
- people expect to get paid fairly for their work is meaningless accounting.
