"Поехали!" (Poyekhali!—Let's go!) Garagin's remark at lift off. Amazing what the Russians accomplished considering the limitations of communism and their closed systems. Their space program was impressive and done without captured German rocket scientists (like the US). Today the US has to bum rides from the Russians to get to the space station because the USgov no longer has a booster capable of taking a man into space. Sad. But on the bright side the US does have plenty of blacks, gays, and trannies, in positions of importance, so we're winning that battle.
