Why was America so technologically based in the past?

They put a Space Shuttle on the back of a freaking Boeing... and just pushed it away so it could do a test landing. Damn, nobody would even consider that any more these days!

There was probably a higher percentage of city people back then compared with today.

Right leaning and mostly white. Not anymore.

>we used to spend 5% of the federal budget on NASA! good times! we should go back to that.

Well now we spend 60% on welfare. GG.

No diversity hires.

They still are Hanz.

>Why was America so technologically based in the past?
Cold War.

You realize the space shuttle was a complete waste from the start.
>But muh Hubble repair!
You could have launched 100 Hubbles and still cost less than space shuttle project.

We don't do shit like this because we're smart to enough to not waste our money on dick wagging. (Well that might change soon)

literally Nazis

>Why was America so technologically based in the past?

This Krautz
>Cold War.

Actually the opposite.

that was the trajectory we were on before the jews managed to get their final sedition in
now it's all fucked
the moon landings spooked them
every person who stood on the moon was white
now the jews took over, rewrote history
and fucked us
they want to trap humans on this planet until whites are gone

first """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""human"""""" on mars will be a kike, nigger or mudslime
or a chink.
at least a chink will mean the kikes shot themselves in the foot too

when are the evil fags going to release the orig/ moon landing - didn't they find the original stores recently?
what we have is a tape of a tape

Because we have super secret black triangles that are single stage to orbit now. The space program never died, it just went black.

If you're impressed by that consider that the soviets built their own much larger space shuttle carrier, loaded the shuttle onto it and then did stunts for the crowd at that 1989 paris air show.

>nobody would even consider that any more these days!

The capability still exists. The soviet space shuttle carrier is literally still in service and china plan to begin mass production.

No it's because they have a drone space shuttle that can stay in orbit longer

>nobody would even consider that any more these days!
The jews are done with the cold war, and realize small never ending conflict in the mid-east is good for business, god forbid nations reduce military spending. Which makes projects like pick related less important
SR-71 fly-by

Competition with the soviet union.

Well they stole a whole pile of technology from Germany after the war and grew fat on both it's proceeds and also all these bullshit reparation scams and what have you.

But now the glory days are done and the time has arrived to make they own shit.

But guess what? They can't.

All that's left now are trannies, degenerates and mouthy third wave bitches with a chip on their shoulder.

The US is done.

Sooner or later all empires fail.

So that's how baby planes are made

Gosh, I hope nobody starts the ignition on the shuttle!

The correct answer is cgi special effects are cheaper than practical effects.

>They fucking killed the Concorde
I'm still in disbelief

So how more often are you planning to display how extremely retarded you are?

>leaf

of course
