What purpose does this serve? American Exceptionalism has failed! Or just to poke America in the eye - look America your space program is a disaster and we should be reaching world wide for assistance because other nations are more successful. Like Iran and North Korea success stories so much on militarization they people starve. Iran has no refinery from oil to make gasoline for domestic consumption - all oil is sent out and gasoline is returned. There is way to destroy a country like Iran - disrupt oil exports and petro imports the country would fall flat
Everybody successful fails. It’s part of trying. Pretending you didn’t avoids opportunities to learn.
