Mao would be so proud.

Glad Ayn Rand never lived to see this day...she'd freak!

Was not a fan of either of them.

Both wrote a bag of crap.

Let's hope nobody leaves THAT on the moon when they leave.

Funny how it was the statists that got to the moon before the objectivists.
Can they answer that one?

Perhaps the difference between dreaming of the moon & shooting for the moon?

They'll be the 1st to Mars, you wait and see, it's all in Atlas Shrugged.

Not if I don't moon them first!!!!

If America is 1st, and China will be 3rd, who was 2nd? I didn't think anyone else landed on the moon?

Per the link: The last one was by the Soviet Union in 1976.

What about those damn Martians?
