First off, why in the Hell is he applauding the Ruskies, instead of using the Moon landing by the US as a euphemism.
Not to mention, it made no sense whatsoever.

Quote"This is our generation's Sputnik moment," he said, referring to the Soviets' achievement in putting the first satellite into orbit ahead of the US in 1957.

"Two years ago, I said that we needed to reach a level of research and development we haven't seen since the height of the Space Race," he said, pledging to invest in education and create a budget which would meet that goal.

"We'll invest in biomedical research, information technology, and especially clean energy technology - an investment that will strengthen our security, protect our planet, and create countless new jobs for our people."

Translation:  We want to own all these industries...

You could be right, I hadn't considered that.
In fact, being a free mkt guy, it was the furthest thing from my mind, not to mention unconstitutional.

But what else would you expect from a commie/muscum/illegal alien/racist/terroristhomeboy associate sympathizer?

The response to Sputnik is seen by lefties as a national, i.e. government response.

Well, didn't we just sell our soul in the START treaty just recently?

If you are raised to think like communists, OF COURSE you will believe Sputnik I was more important than landing on the Moon. Otherwise, you would be applauding the U.S., and Hussein the Magnificent cannot support that concept --- and never will.
