Cool Image.
Take note, My Little Pony. I know your beloved ESA has not even managed to land a vehicle on Earth, let alone another planet.

I gotta show that video to my Dad. He bought one of those, and I had tried to steer him away.
No pun intended.

The one of Curiosity parachuting down through the Martian atmosphere? Yes.

No worries! By 2050 the ESA will eventually be able to catch up with the USA's 1961 abilities.

At this rate, I doubt the USA will have the budget or ability to catch up to 1961 abilities.

ESA's success rate for landing from space onto Earth = 0%
USA has had men on the moon and more than one vehicle on mars... the US has also dropped a machine onto Venus and taken pictures (before everything melted/burned), sent probes into the outer solar system taking pictures and recording other data from the gas giants, and have even sent a machine blindly into the great expanse of space beyond the solar system.
The ESA.... still dick all in 2012.

It really must be quite embarrassing for a Euro apologist like My Little Pony.

Well, we just faked all that in a Hollywood studio anyway.

The few Euro instruments were just to make Euros feel like they are involved and important. Kind of like NASA reaching out to the Muzzies.

And George Bush wanted to mount a big gun on top. You really think they put that laser on just to shoot at rocks..?
Still, it is a rare achievement to land moar rover on teh mars despite the scientific handicap of republicans most of whom don't believe in evolution. Even their leaders.

We made cup-holders for the CERN accelerator, though (magnets and stuff).

Actually, without ESA's scientific program and without our Euros, NASA would have never gotten a cent from Oblabla (and Bush).
Now, Oblabla landed on Mars. How about that?! |

Oblabla's sole contribution to the American space program has been to cancel manned space flight until after he's out of office.
Therefore, Democrats are anti-science.
