Nonsense. The Russians have built no space stations and are having
trouble raising the funds to operate the one they inherited from 
the Soviet Union. Comparing what was done by a command economy using
what amounts to slave labor to what's done in an open society where
people expect to get paid fairly for their work is meaningless accounting.
