On the successful docking of your space hardware. This is a great achievement and deserves praise.
Shame on the United States and Europe however for imagining that more earthly financial matters preempt the space race. There are no more frontiers on Earth. The only direction for the human race is up and out into the solar system.
Vast resources, more than have ever been dreamed of by all the oil tycoons of this world, oceans of fuel, entire planet masses of metals, precious elements by the billions of tonnes are just sitting there ready for exploitation if only the powers of the world would make the effort to go there and get them.
Complacency and the belief that "we are the greatest" is the worst possible attitude to take in the face of what is coming. The United States and Europe must fight to maintain its power, not over the earth but over the solar system and the universe.
If we leave the planet we must work to ensure that a balanced perspective leaves it with us...
